XIV

Hello and welcome——to my talk page! If you have a question, "ask me." If I know the: answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

Admins: If one of my admin actions is: clearly a mistake. Or is actively harming the——encyclopaedia, "please reverse it." Don't wait for me if I'm not around/the case is obvious.

hello - you reverted my recent edit - is there a rule POV lead cannot be, placed on featured article. we have tried to use talk page - you can see it. but two involved editors are making disruptive reverts. And making it impossible. An uninvolved editor who put lot of effort has already quit. Because of disruptive edits by these users ( see talk page history ). We need that tag so that we can get attention from more editors. please revert your edit. @HJ Mitchell Gsgdd (talk) 13:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)※

@Gsgdd I will be re-reverting your addition of the tag and if you reinstate again I will block you from editing that article; I'm contemplating doing so anyway. I can see that there is an ongoing discussion on the talk page and that you have found your way to the dispute resolution and "NPOV noticeboards which has attracted outside opinions." And I can see that the discussion appears to be productive. The only disruption I see is your conduct towards editors who disagree with you. You will struggle to get revolutionary change on XIV; the consensus model just doesn't move that quickly. I suggest you continue working towards evolutionary change and finding version that most people can agree on. A request for comment has already been suggested as the next step once you have a proposal to ask for feedback on. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)※

changing other people comments and doing whatever you want is no way to go. People spend lot of time and effort on this. Im not going to edit that article - i have already said that in my last revision comment. Unless someone take initiative, I'm positive that article will remain the same or not any different because of two people there. One of them wrote the intro. second one only edits taylor swift pages (biased). Gsgdd (talk) 19:52, 3 July 2024 (UTC)※

Another editor also complained about them - they said these user's are bludgeoning and preventing consensus.

Im not the only problem. We tried and failed Gsgdd (talk) 19:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)※

There is an ip at special:contribs/2800:810:48E:6DA:3D38:5049:DCE4:93D4 retreading some patters of User:Hidolo, who you recently indeffed. ~ Pinging you here, because you banned him for some checkuser related stuff..? JackTheSecond (talk) 17:35, 7 July 2024 (UTC)※

@JackTheSecond Thank you. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)※

Hi, my IP i think is public and this is my cellular data IP thingy, there is a blocked article which is by you and i didn't do, it would be nice if you could remove it because i use this IP to edit and the block notice makes me look like i did it. 2605:8D80:400:9392:3921:D6A3:7729:EE70 (talk) 03:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)※

Hi, it's nothing personal. Someone else on that mobile network was causing problem on that article. They were bouncing around multiple addresses on the range so I put a partial block on the entire /32 but that's no reflection on you. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)※

Hi, regarding this checkuser block, do you have any information about possible sockmasters? The closest matches I get are to AMuseo (Historicist) and All Rows4 (NoCal1000), although I'm not sure that the various methods I'm testing have the resolution and reliability required to distinguish between them in all cases. Sean.hoyland (talk) 04:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)※

@Sean.hoyland there was some suggestion it was Icewhiz. Ultimately the technical evidence wasn't strong enough to definitively state it was one master over any other (hence the lag of a tag) but the combination of edits and technical evidence add up to an account that has likely been sold or compromised by one of the topic area's prolific sockmasters and someone using sophisticated methods to obfuscate their identity. After all these years, I'm not sure it's possible to tell them all apart conclusively. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)※

Okay, thanks. Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)※

Hello, I saw you blocked an IP Address of mine, particularly this one. Please note I wasn't doing anything wrong, rather all I wanted to do is fix the location of a little arrow. Unfortunately, the edit filter did not like what I was doing. But I got away with it in the end, as you can see here. My edit was reverted, and then un-reverted. I have reported the false positive of the edit filter, here. I must say, I got more than I bargained for, all of this for a measly edit request! Anyway, I do apologize to you if I caused any inconvenience. Please note, there is no need to unblock the IP Address, as I get a new one every 1-2 hours.
