Deletion vs archiving

Hi Vanjagenije, I am curious as to why this section was removed rather than archived. The other mentioned section did not include this user in the submission, and so the only diff comparison evidence is now not in the archives. Thanks for your work, CMD (talk) 07:56, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chipmunkdavis: Aesthetical Beacon was already CU confirmed as a sock in the 21 September 2021 case. No need to have new investigation for the account that is already confirmed sock. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not asking for a separate investigation, just that it is archived instead of deleted so it can be pointed to later. CMD (talk) 15:14, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Chipmunkdavis: WP:SPI pages are for sockpuppet investigations, hence the name. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - This was an investigation that was opened with behavioural evidence. The technical findings that were acted upon in a separate case do not negate the value of the behavioural findings, and such findings are very helpful for referring back to at a later point. CMD (talk) 15:31, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Curious about Process

Hello, hopefully I have this right, that you are leading an SPI where I have been named? Policies are never so clear as they might seem, but by my reading it is so clearly a false and inappropriate allegation, I am wondering how long it takes to have it removed - the same person who keeps repeatedly referencing my identity has also made the accusation, so there is an added level of reputational harm (beyond just accusing an anonymous identity). I see there is a long list of work that you are doing so I recognize that these things take time - I am concerned that once this is resolved the same person will simply use another avenue to attack me, including my fully public reputation. Is there a point at which they will no longer be able to do that? If I suspect that it is just going to keep going forever, other than just giving up, what are my options? Iamthekanadian (talk) 16:02, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not leading anything. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:55, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, the only reference I can find had your name on it, I don't know how the process works and I am sure I am using the wrong language. Let me try again. Hello Vanjagenije hopefully I have this right, that you are the clerk for an SPI where I have been named?

Looks like a new sock

It looks like Serialbongo is back as Bongthe and has started adding unverified long details to various cast of Zee Bangla and Star Jalsha TV shows like Mithai (TV series). They are not able to edit Khukumoni Home Delivery and List of Pokémon anime characters since they are protected now.

Adding unsourced claims

Стројислав1081 (talk) 23:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Стројислав1081: Hello. I don't understand why you reverted my edits on Srbinda page. I removed unsourced claims, personal analysis and fixed typing errors.[reply]

Because you gave undue WP:WEIGHT to certain fringe theories, presenting them as they are relevant scientific theories. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on what source anything on that article is fringe theory? Every claim I added is sourced, while claims for pseudo-history aren't, and are personal analysis. Стројислав1081 (talk) 23:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Стројислав1081[reply]

Novi Sad

Article, extremely biased against Hungary and Hungarians. Inaccurate and distorted interpretations of historical facts, omissions and minimizing Hungary’s history in the region. Typical Serb propaganda. Dez Szatmari (talk) 02:24, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block

Hi, you wrote "Please, do not alter the reviewed block request" as I attempted to fulfill the request to the second point you made "*the block is no longer necessary because you 1. understand what you have been blocked for, 2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and 3. will make useful contributions instead."

I was assuming I could reply to you to appeal, but since you did not reply to it, it must work differently, do you know how I should re-appeal? RBut (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RBut: Of course, you are free to reply, but not inside the unblock template. I just moved your comment below. You can make new request, but be sure to resolve the concerns that led to the denial of your first request. I will reply to your comments when I find time to do so.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Application for mentorship

I am looking for a mentor. I wanna go through a course under your tutelage for a period of time that you determine for a counter vandalism course and/or a course on proper page creation. After which I will be given rollback and new page reviewer privileges. I'm reaching out to you because I wanna do this the proper way. It will be a honor to learn. Cheers Amaekuma (talk) 07:36, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Amaekuma: Hi! There is no such thing as mentorship here (as far as I know). I am a volunteer here, just like you. You are free to edit and experiment as long as you show wp:good faith and listen to other editors' advices. The best way to learn is to try. But, be sure to listen to other editors and to be willing to learn from them. There are several pages that explain page creation and other key Wikipedia policies (you have a list of useful links at your talk page). I see that you have a lot of different warning messages at your talk page. You should read them and try to understand them. Usually, a warning contains a link to a relevant Wikipedia policy that you are expected to read and understand. You can ask me any specific question you have regarding Wikipedia procedures.

Possible Jagged 85 sock

Hello Vanjagenije, I'm contacting you about this since you seem to have been familiar with the Jagged 85 case in the past. I'm growing concerned that Maestro2016 is a sock of Jagged 85 and wanted to discuss it someone who's familiar with the case before I bring it to SPI. Would you have any comments? JOE BRO 64 18:40, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TheJoebro64: I am not particularly familiar with that user. Did you read Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Jagged_85/Archive#18_May_2020? Vanjagenije (talk) 19:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did review it; from what I gathered, it seems to have been treated as a content dispute rather than a sockpuppetry case and thus wasn't properly reviewed. I became suspicious of Maestro2016 after I discovered this edit where they added a claim with a source related to the topic that did not actually corroborate the claim (something Jagged had a history of doing), and upon further digging I found enough similarities - specifically both users having keen interest in video games, films, islamic history, and math, with a focus on sales figures - to spark concern. I was directed to you by Ferret since I'm looking for editors that have dealt with the case in the past before I go ahead at SPI - I just want to have a high degree of confidence before taking proper action. JOE BRO 64 19:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with regular "Serbo-Croatian doesn't exist / is Swedish-Danish-Norwegian" edits

I'm not sure how to approach these users, it's not strictly "vandalism" but they don't seek consensus (before making these edits) because they can't get one, and I feel like starting one myself is going to be a waste of time (they won't change their mind). Here's the latest line of articles, check their history log:

Vandalism

removed 12 decade old source,
unused,
forgot a piece,
Chetnik leader Stanislav Krakov's 1930 work is part of the contemporary academically obsolete and politically biased literature which aimed at justifying Serb expansionism that were republished under Milosevic in the 1990s

Replaceable fair use File:Da Doo Ron Ron single.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Da Doo Ron Ron single.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sock user and vandalism

Hello, Vanjagenije. — Also notifying @Zzuuzz and Tamzin:

I am not sure who to contact over this, but since you recently identified another sock, User:WeWorkGuest, another one of User:Awolf58's phony names, (Users Zzuuzz and Tamzin: are familiar with this ever-changing sock.) I'm appealing to you, or anyone, for help. As I believe you know, user WeWorkGuest made edits on the Benjamin Tompson page. This is one of several instances where 'Awolf' has created a user name and came straight to an article I have created. Recently my user page has been vandalized also. Someone added the name "Mohammed Hakena Sugnie" over three of my users boxes, but for some reason, the edit involved does not show up in edit history. When I click on a past version of my user page this name still shows up. Somehow, someone has made this edit which does not show up in edit history. I tried reverting back and restoring the page but this name still shows up above the three userboxes. Can someone fix this, and while they're at it, place protection on my user page? I have lost count of the times where I have been singled out and have had my work, and now my user page, vandalized by this individual. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 02:26, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here was the problem: Special:PageHistory/Template:User_Good_Article. That happens sometimes. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 02:32, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Darn, beat me to it. :D Yeah, almost certainly coincidental, Gwillhickers. I'm sorry to see that Awolf continues to harass you despite his continued protestations to me and Randy Kryn that he's on the straight and narrow now. If you are worried about your userpage getting vandalized by autoconfirmed users, you can move it to something like User:Gwillhickers/userpage.css (note: will look broken there, but will transclude fine), change your userpage to {{/userpage.css}}, and then request full protection for your userpage. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 02:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Zzuuzz: — Wow, that was fast. So in other words, someone vandalized the good article template, which, I'm assuming, would effect all such templates. In any case, thank you, once again, for your help. All the best, -- Gwillhickers (talk) 02:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seen it all before :/ Most templates have semi-protection, which helps, but this user has (had) been around a few months. Yes, many good article contributors will have looked a bit silly for a while. Any time. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 02:53, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin:, I'm not sure why I simply can't request full protection. When it comes to css stuff I'm not up to speed. Is this the only way to get user page protection? -- Gwillhickers (talk) 02:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gwillhickers: I'm happy to protect the page for you, but you wouldn't be able to edit it yourself then (unless you feel inclined to RfA). The .css hack I mentioned is the only way to make a userpage editable just by its owner. (Well, edit filters can do it, but I think that would be seen as not worth the overhead.) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 02:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: — Okay, I guess I'll leave it as it is, as apparently there was no direct vandalism to my user page, just the templates it used. Sorry to have to keep buggin' you guys. Once again, many thanks for your help. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 03:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tag teaming users preventing update of a page

Hi Vanjagenije, I want to report that some users are coordinating their efforts to prevent changes to the Vasojevići page. These users include at least Ahmet Q. (talk · contribs), Ktrimi991 (talk · contribs) and, possibly, Maleschreiber (talk · contribs). It should be noted that Ahmet Q. had never contibuted to the page before, while Ktrimi991 was only patrolling there from time to time, without any substantial contribution to the article. Regarding my own edits, they were done first under an IP, then I created this account to continue working on the page. While most of my edits consist in fixing references, correcting some sentences and so on, it seems that the aforementioned users don't like the fact that I added valid sources to balance the paragraph on the origin of the tribe. These changes were accepted by user Jingiby (talk · contribs) who also patrols there, after he altered them slightly. However, user Ktrimi991 even accused my changes of being messing even if they were done in successive edits that are obviously clear, each with an explanation. With the exception of Maleschreiber who has vaguely tried to discuss, none of these users seem to want to talk about the changes. All their effort are obviously intended to protect a point of view, while acting blatlantly against Wikipedia philosophy and policy. Krisitor (talk) 15:19, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Omot singla "Za milion godina"

Pozdrav, Vanja.

Omot singla "Za milion godina" koji sam aploudovao i kojim sam zamenio postojeći u članku o YU Rock Misiji (i koji si nominovao za brisanje) bio je boljeg kvaliteta od postojećeg. U pitanju je bio omot koji je "prečišćen" da se na njemu ne vide tragovi savijanja, kao što je slučaj sa postojećom slikom omota. Sem toga, na postojećoj slici omota je vidljiva i žvrljotina hemijskom olovkom (na šaci), koje nije bilo na onoj koju sam okačio. Poslednjih godina sam zamenjivao omote domaćih albuma (koji su često loši skenovi koji su se godinama, pa i decenijama mogli naći na internetu) boljim. Dakle, ukoliko nešto tako uradim, nije u pitanju hir, već želja da omoti domaćih albuma i singlova budu predstavljeni reprezentativnim slikama. Nadam se da se sledeći put, ukoliko neku sliku koju si ti aploudovao zamenim boljom verzijom, nećeš naljutiti.

An issue of content organization: copying of 31 lists from the Serbian Wikipedia

Hello Vanjagenije. First a disclaimer of sorts: I should have taked to you earlier, before starting an AfD that is now ongoing. This is not meant to solicit your participation in the AfD, which could be seen as WP:INAPPNOTE. I am aware of the possible appearance of canvassing. The reason why I am contacting you now is that I became aware, only after starting the AfD, that it was you who created Immovable Cultural Heritage of Exceptional Importance (Serbia) and Immovable Cultural Heritage of Great Importance (Serbia).

You may be interested to learn that another editor is recreating this same list content, but divided into 31 lists (for the 24+5 districts of Serbia with KiM + Belgrade and Novi Sad), which is a list structure copied from the Serbian Wikipedia. In my view this is totally duplicative, and if the idea is to have these tables divided territorially per district, this needs to be done by proposing a split (of your two abovementioned lists), not by creating a duplicative list structure. 8 articles have been created, and there are 23 to go.

I considered WP:BLAR but I could not decide on what an appropriate target would be. Therefore I requested WP:A10, but it was understandably difficult for administrators to act on these A10s, because it's hard to compare lists when their titles don't clearly indicate the same scope, as entries themselves have to be compared to see if the content is duplicative, which is a lot of work... so the speedy deletion templates stood there for like 16 hours, and then I switched to an AfD in the hope that, when the problem is explained, the situation will become easy to understand and resolve. But, after some further reflection, I don't think that even the AfD will help many people comprehend the issues of content organization in this area. But I know that you will understand, because you're obviously familiar with said area, having created those two great lists.

I want to prevent this content from being duplicated in two parallel sets of lists. I care much less if the content is split into many 'per district' lists or kept in two 'per tier of protection' lists (but I think that your two lists suffice). I really can't stand duplication, I think it's terrible for organization and maintenance. I want this content to have the best possible treatment.

Deleting the new 8 'per district' lists would prevent duplication. However, splitting your two lists into 'per district' lists would also prevent duplication. Do you share the same concerns that I have about duplication of lists of Serbian Immovable Cultural Heritage objects, and do you see any way out of this mess? —Alalch E. 17:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editor's usage of sources

Hello there. I have a case regarding an editor. I've attempted to bring the conduct of this editor to the attention of administrators at ANI before, but it wasn't about this case, since this situation regarding the usage of sources with the editor occured almost after the ANI report. This case has to do with repeated usage of unreliable sources on an article. I'd like to point out that I have attempted several times to engage with the editor, but to no avail. I was wondering if you'd be willing to help out regarding this case. If so, I could provide you with more information. StephenMacky1 (talk) 14:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There were exactly two comments on the page, and exactly one in the "Comments by other users" section. I think it should be clear which one is meant. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 09:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vanja, I'm thinking that the user needs to be reblocked indefinitely. They can't seem to behave. See the latest warning for edit-warring, as well as the warning by Ponyo in March for edit-warring and the ensuing discussion. What do you think?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: I don't know. This latest warning is for a page Born Pink World Tour where the user made a total of two recent edits. Doesn't really look like edit war. Is there something more? Vanjagenije (talk) 19:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, the warning came before the user reverted too much, which is the way it should be, but I think the conversation with Ponyo is much more problematic, not only edit-warring, but laughing about it, and their edit summaries at the article, e.g., "u guys have something against me ?? Because the edit doesn't Inline with what disruptive on wikipedia lmaf", are in and themselves a violation of their unblock conditions. As Ponyo quoted the user, "What I would do differently in the future is...listen to the other editors who point out issues with my edits" The user is neither listening nor caring, and using acronyms that mean "laughing my ass off" in edit summaries is absolutely wrong. The user's comments and edit summaries remind me of a kid (don't know whether they are a kid) texting their friends about other kid and mocking them rather than an editor editing an encyclopedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23 Hi, sorry about that. Me using the LMAF wasn't intended to be a mockery. I put such a text in because I didn't want to sound too mad or serious about the edits because it isn't that deep. I apologize once more for the words I used. I will sound more formal and professional in the future.

AudiGuy-1204 LTA typo

Hey, I noticed a typo where it reads as AudiGuy-1024 instead of AudiGuy-1204. 119.75.204.218 (talk) 04:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is on the LTA case table. The LTA is just after Ararat arev and before Asidisis. The AudiGuy-1204 LTA report is created on 12 July, by Prodraxis. 119.75.204.218 (talk) 04:41, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I noticed another error. The AudiGuy-1204 case is before the Asidisis case, on the table of LTAs. 119.75.204.218 (talk) 04:44, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Go edit WP:Long-term abuse/List. You can notice and fix the typo and move the Asidisis case to before AudiGuy-1204. 119.75.204.218 (talk) 04:46, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Vanjagenije:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1300 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:25, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map of UNESCO members

Hello, I saw you have previously edited the map of the UNESCO members found here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UNESCO_member_states.png. When looking at the map, I noticed there is an island highlighted blue in the Atlantic off the coast of the US. But there is no island in that location. I am assuming this mark is intended to indicate Bermuda, which is a part of UNESCO as a part of the UK via a separate NOC. If this is the case, the mark should be further east, almost straight north from Puerto Rico.

If you agree, could you update the map? Or I could do it. Thanks!

Wikipedia article

Hi! I have a problem and need your advice. If in an article the subject is the person in that article and they go to wikipedia to request that the article be deleted because they do not want their information to be posted here. In this matter, how should I explain? Can you help me find a solution? Thank you. Phong Dang (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@P. ĐĂNG: Wikipedia article may only be deleted under certain specific circumstances (see wp:deletion policy). "Not wanting" the article is not a valid reason for deletion. Wikipedia articles should only summarize what WP:reliable sources already said about the subject. Wikipedia articles should not contain any new information, they should only contain information that has already been published by reliable sources. So, the article can not be deleted just because the subject doesn't want it. But, there are certain limitations regarding private information (see WP:BLP for more info). Vanjagenije (talk) 17:22, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will remember this to explain to new members. Thank you so much! Phong Dang (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:When You Gonna Learn single.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:When You Gonna Learn single.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

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.

Genocide Bar and Chetnik War Crimes

Hi, I undid your edit for Chetnik War Crimes as it seems you may have inadvertently removed a bunch of sourced content. I assume your aim was to remove the Genocide Bar however looking now, it seems only recently all listed genocides were removed from it and an edit war is taking place. I see on its talk page a call for an RFC is requested so perhaps it is best to wait for the final stable version? Until then, I think Bosnian Genocide, Genocide of Serbs in Independence State of Croatia, and Chetnik War Crimes During WWII and so on should still keep that side bar until editors make up their mind over the bar’s format. Otherwise it will just go back and forth for all these articles on a given day. Cheers. OyMosby (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OyMosby: The bar was only added to the article recently [9] by the same user who was edit-warring about the content of the bar. So, if you want to keep status quo, then it should be removed, I think. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:02, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That user wasn’t edit warring there it seems. They added it to the other articles I mentioned on the same day as well. I don’t think timing makes a difference. As for edit waring recently it appears to be a number of different other users. It appears the long standing version of the bar listed all the various genocide articles. The latest version isn’t the stable once, hence why I suggested we wait for the RFC results when consus is reached there? Otherwise should the bar be removed from all articles no longer listed? OyMosby (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, we can wait for the bar to stabilize, I agree. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:07, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nunakhuzi

Hello, Vanjagenje, you s-deleted that page that had been recreated by me, and mentioned you were assuming it met G4. Very sorry but that is not the case, as I indicated on Tp (and another admin mentioned (see history)). Since Afd (closed 3 days before release of the film) the page had changed and was substantially different (I had added SEVEN full-length reviews in reliable media, none of them available at the time of the AfD) 2) the status of the subject had obviously changed (notoriety issue is now moot). I am therefore requesting from you that you please kindly restore the article. Thank you in advance. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 23:13, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Municipalities and cities of Serbia.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!
