Question from Berentis.Wayfarer (05:40, 11 January 2025)

[edit]

Hi and thanks for being a mentor. I am also a software engineer. Just a quick question. I was reading an article and had to at least comment on it. At what point is it ok to make edits vice commenting? Does anyone review comments? BTW Uther Locksley sounds like an SCA name. Is that true? --Berentis.Wayfarer (talk) 05:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Berentis.Wayfarer: In reverse: Uther Rhys Locksley was indeed my SCA name back in the 90s. :) There are no dedicated comment reviewers, but anyone who has the article on their watchlist will see that a comment has been made. Looking at your contributions, I don't see any comments you've made. Did you do so before creating your account? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently, when I went back to the page, the comment was still in the composer in my browser. Added it just now. Talk:Franklin bells
Aside: I was an unofficial member of the (then) Barony of Tir Ysgithr back in the late 70's. I remember a couple of members with the surname Locksley. Berentis.Wayfarer (talk) 13:27, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unrelated to me. I was in the Barony of Thescorre. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:29, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orpaul

[edit]

Hi UtherSRG. I am a CU on w:fr. I have just noticed this temporary block : User_talk:Orpaul#January_2025. Just to let you know that Orpaul = Lapin du Morvan (cf here) = w:fr:Wikipédia:Faux-nez/Alain843, who was banned from w:fr. Lewisiscrazy (talk) 09:08, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lewisiscrazy: Thanks. What were they blocked for? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He was banned, not just blocked. Here is the final decision w:fr:Wikipédia:Bulletin des administrateurs/2013/Semaine 38#Vendredi 20 septembre where the French admins discuss LTA, edit wars and other negative contributions (just as many as sock-puppets apparently). --Lewisiscrazy (talk) 12:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lewisiscrazy: Ok. I'll block as LTA for now. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, UtherSRG,

I hope you can explain to me what happened here. This article is being discussed at an open AFD. For some reason, you userfied this article, even though the editor had never worked on this article, much less created it and the AFD was still ongoing. Once the article was in their User space, they tagged the page for CSD U1 speedy deletion when they had no right to invoke U1.

Please do not userfy an article being discussed at an open AFD unless that is the consensus decision of the participants. It looks like this was just a way to bypass a discussion among editors and get an article deleted that is completely out of process. And I've seen this editor do exactly this before, they ask for an article to be userfied and then request a speedy delete and, I guess, because the article is now in their User space, the admin review the situation doesn't realize that they are not the article creator and they just delete it on command. There are legitimate ways to delete pages but this one is very sneaky. We should all play by the rules.

Thank you for all of the help you provide, especially at REFUND. It's appreciated! Liz Read! Talk! 02:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've pinged you at RFU as to why I userified. - UtherSRG (talk) 03:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, I can withdraw you AFD for you. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it is eligible for withdraw as there is a delete !vote on it. I admit, though, that it's a SNOW. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I missed that one! Sorry. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:26, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! :) - UtherSRG (talk) 14:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I think we've both dealt with the person behind 98.97.61.117 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) before. They seem to be the same person as 2605:59C8:D0:AA10:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) who you previously rangeblocked for a year a week ago. (See their reversion of your edit to this range [1]. If they keep finding ways to avoid their rangeblock, then I think we need to long-term semi-protect their major targets, which include Camelini, Lamini, and Camelinae, where they keep persistently making shit up about cameline taxonomy. I've gone and checked this, and the sources consistently state that Camelini and Lamini first appeared during the Miocene and that the taxa the IP cites as early representatives of these tribes are very obscure and the little recent literature on them places them outside of these tribes. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:03, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. On the next action, I'll protect the targets. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding the categories for reasons behind an animal or plants extinction or decline

[edit]

Do these categories only apply to nominate species such as ivory-billed woodpecker or African bush elephant, and not subspecies or distinct populations such as northern white rhinoceros or Barbary lion? I noticed that all of my edits for putting animals such as North African elephant, Barbary lion, and Cuban ivory-billed woodpecker under the categories for being threatened with extinction by warfare, deliberate extirpation efforts, and logging for timber were reverted despite these being true. North African elephants were employed as combat mounts during the Punic Wars, the Rif War further lead to the decline of the Barbary lion, and the Cuban Revolution prevented a recovery plan for the Cuban ivory-billed woodpecker at the time. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What category do the subspecies and distinct populations fit under then? It is true that warfare, political conflicts, logging, and deliberate extirpation efforts lead to the extinctions or declines of these animals such as the ones I mentioned. I swear that I have seen animals such as Mexican grizzly bear and Zanzibar leopard under categories such as species made extinct by deliberate extirpation efforts. Can the North African elephant categorisation be restored at least? It was possibly a separate species of African elephant as opposed to a subspecies or population. Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 20:43, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They don't. And no. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you further explain why North African elephant is inappropriate for the category despite it being considered a separate species? Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is not currently considered a species. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why subspecies and distinct populations cannot be in the categories for endangerment or extinction outside of not being nominate species? Was this discussed somewhere, or is it an unspoken and understood rule? Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that it is written down anywhere. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bucerotiformes stubs

[edit]

Hi there! I changed the category for {{Bucerotiformes-stub}} because the template was proposed and accepted as an upmerged template here. Normally, stub templates should be used on 60 or more articles before getting a category, but I think 49 is close enough, so I have no further objection to the creation of the category. Her Pegship (?) 01:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on Oreocarya cana

[edit]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Oreocarya cana, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 01:39, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed... - UtherSRG (talk) 14:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please double check AfC declinations

[edit]

There have been two recent declinations by the same user, the one that caught my attention was Draft:Hussam Jouhara and checking there is also Draft:Alexandra Wake. Hussan was declined quoting NPROF, but that was very inappropriate. I have already commented on that one at the talk page and will handle it if needed.

The Alexandra page was declined as not having reliable sources, which seems odd to me.

In both cases no explanation was given. I guess we don't require that, but perhaps we should encourage it.

Comments? Ldm1954 (talk) 14:03, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And this has what to do with me? - UtherSRG (talk) 14:19, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking for a second opinion, particularly on the declination of Draft:Alexandra Wake. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Roger that. And you have it below. :D I'm one who tends to be lean harder on the decline side anyway... I would prefer drafts stay as drafts even longer tha are current policies and practices allow... - UtherSRG (talk) 14:23, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah on this one, I think a second review is necessary. I will review it again and provide you details on the draft talk page. @Ldm1954 ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 14:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Ldm1954, @UtherSRG - I have an explanation. I was checking the redirects and drafts at the same time. While correcting the drafts, I went to Hussam draft. I thought C2/C3 might failed so I declined, but I should have dug more into this. As per Ldm, I later noticed RAE award which passes NPROF. And both the topics I'm re-reviewing. My bad again. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 14:19, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to both of you. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

why did you revert my reply?

[edit]

why did you delete the reply i made on the SPI for someone? Qxvaa (talk) 20:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your participation seems to be purely intended to be disruptive. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:13, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
it wasn't intended to be. Qxvaa (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Qxvaa, you do not have enough experience to be helpful at SPI at this time. Please find another area of the project to contribute to. And please stop trying to log in to other users' accounts. Best, Spicy (talk) 22:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
