Seriously, only three days? The page gets constantly vandalised, can you please extend that duration to indef please. Govvy (talk) 21:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm hesitant to apply indefinite protection, but given the most recent protections over the past couple of months, I think 6 months seems like a reasonable place to start. I'll update accordingly. --Kinu ^t/_c 22:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

{{User:Kinu/TT|Template:2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONMEBOL table}}

Hi Kinu. There was no need to block {{User|180.245.230.51}}. All their edits were reverts of the vandal. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONMEBOL_table&diff=prev&oldid=1145989273] for example. For that matter, I don't believe protecting the page was even necessary. It was a single vandal, from a single IP address, targeting a single page; about as straight forward as you can get. All that was need was a block on the one actual vandal IP. If the other reverting editors on that page would have just issued warnings or reported the vandal, this could have been resolved much quicker. I really don't understand why I was the only editor who bothered to issue any warnings.

Anyhow, thanks for the block to user:118.99.110.60, but please unblock {{User|180.245.230.51}}. They did nothing wrong. And please consider removing the page protection. I will keep it watchlist and report back if there's any further nonsense. --DB1729^talk 05:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok, uhh sorry, backing up here. I didn't see this edit[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONMEBOL_table&diff=prev&oldid=1145989144] which although could be good-faith, except the IPs seem to geolocate to the same place and so probably the same individual. Also didn't notice there was a third IP before I had arrived on the scene, so the page protection was indeed probably a good idea. Thanks for everything, sorry for the fuss, and have great day. --DB1729^talk 06:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Kinu. There's currently a standard-offer unblock request at UTRS from Eni.Sukthi.Durres, an editor blocked by you on 10 April 2023. ({{UTRS|80104}}.) You initially partially blocked from mainspace because of incompetence at English, and then extended the block to sitewide, including revoking talk page access, because of threats etc. (Relevant links: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1125#Long_term_disruption,_edit_warring_and_general_incompetence_by_Eni.Sukthi.Durres ANI archived discussion which led to the block]; User talk:Eni.Sukthi.Durres).

The editor is now asking to be unblocked to return to the less controversial kind of editing he believes he did from 2013 to 2018, after which he had a long break, and returned in a different spirit. The editing history is quite extensive, but I have spent some time checking it, and my impressions are as follows. Certainly their editing from 2013 to 2018 was not totally trouble free, as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3AEni.Sukthi.Durres&type=block their block log] shows, but the problems were very small in proportion to the amount of editing he were doing, and nowhere remotely near the level of the problems which led you to block him. His poor command of English didn't cause many problems in the 2013 to 2018 because he mostly just did things like updating statistics, and didn't actually write much English. I don't think he would have been indef-blocked had he carried on in the same way.

I am writing to ask you to consider whether you see a case for lifting the block, or at the least restoring talk page access to allow an on-wiki unblock request. I do not myself have a definite view on the matter. JBW (talk) 16:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|JBW}} I apologize for the delay in responding due to the holiday weekend. Although my decision to block wasn't based on any sort of formal consensus for a CBAN, given some of the egregious threats and concerns raised by other editors (e.g., {{u|Drmies}}) at the ANI, I feel like this probably should be subject to scrutiny beyond just one or two of us. I do want to assume good faith about their intention to edit in a manner that would be less problematic, so I feel like restoring talk page access to allow an unblock request that can be considered more thoroughly and transparently seems like the best course of action for now. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

:: Thanks. I agree with you that opening it to "scrutiny beyond just one or two of us" is best, and I would certainly not have unblocked on my own without consultation, so I shall restore talk page access and invite them to post an unblock request there. For what it's worth, my guess is that it will come to nothing, but I am willing to give them a chance to prove me wrong. JBW (talk) 21:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

{{U|Kinu}}, I added that section title because it has been hard to read the comments as it is set up now, using a mobile phone or Desk Top computer. I have participated in many of these discussions on other articles; I always saw the comments without having to open the Edit page first. The heading Wilmette Wilbus sends me back to article, and does not show the comments. I do not understand why this discussion page is tricky to see. Adding the section title made it easy, ordinary, to see comments without first seeing the Edit text. All I do see are two section headings, none of the discussion posts, until I take that back door route of the Edit text.

Is there something unusual about this particular Deletion Discussion page’s format? As you read, it is the first time that I put up the article under discussion, and the first time I experienced this awkward path to seeing the comments before adding one.

i do thank you for reading the article carefully and making useful comments. - - Prairieplant (talk) 22:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Just something to keep in mind for the future - if there is a post (in this case referring to WP:EFFPR) where the content needs to be removed immediately (ostensibly because there is problematic content) please do not ask for it to be archived, as it then propagates the content in two different locations.

Please do not revert my edits again. Skcin7 (talk) 06:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:::Edit warring is not an appropriate approach here (or anywhere), and the correct thing to do after being reverted to the status quo ante, which has been the standard format of the lead for as far back as the articles in question have existed (e.g., this), would be to discuss this at an appropriate venue rather than continue to make these types of edits. I see no established consensus or indication that such translations are required or useful inline; this would lead to similar clutter in article leads such as Charles III (3), Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (6), and Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (33rd). Similarly, saying "[i]t's better" is an opinion; likewise, the assertion that "the vast majority of people don't automatically know how to decipher Roman numerals" is unsupported.

::Am I permanently banned. I also cited sources. Or is that not taken into account for a first offense? Jdb443 (talk) 03:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Maned wolf

Hello Kinu, I hope your year has been off to a great start.

Back in 2022, you added an {unclear citation style} tag to Maned_wolf#Conservation, and noted that "some inline references need proper tags" in your edit summary. Could you please clarify what you mean by "tags" here, and what is currently wrong with the inline references?

Thank you! Mooonswimmer 21:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

:When I tagged the article (i.e., [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maned_wolf&diff=prev&oldid=1109445391 this version]), some of the sources used were given as parentheticals in the text itself rather than properly formatted using ... tags. The issue looks to have been fixed since then, so I will go ahead and remove the template. Thanks for letting me know! --Kinu ^t/_c 21:34, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for clarifying and taking care of it. Happy editing! Mooonswimmer 22:52, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Austin vandal

Hi! On Saturday, I found out that several articles about Texas cities were semi-protected due to a racist troll. I saw you delete some of the edits on the city articles, and want you to delete some more.

Austin, Texas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Austin,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277085692 diff 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Austin,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277086626 diff 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Austin,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277097707 diff 3])

San Antonio ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=San_Antonio&diff=prev&oldid=1277100886 diff])

Dallas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dallas&diff=prev&oldid=1277085775 diff 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dallas&diff=prev&oldid=1277086815 diff 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dallas&diff=prev&oldid=1277097724 diff 3])

El Paso, Texas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=El_Paso,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277100904 diff])

Lubbock, Texas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lubbock,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277100920 diff])

Parker County, Texas ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parker_County,_Texas&diff=prev&oldid=1277100847 diff]) 24.55.33.220 (talk) 00:24, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:{{done}} Thanks for letting me know. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:10, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::Looks like the troll is back, and the San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth articles are semi-protected again. This time it's not racist vandalism, it's replacing images of city skylines, flags, seals, emblems, and landmarks with the official portrait of a Texas representative 24.55.33.220 (talk) 04:08, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

:::{{not done}} While it appears to be trolling, I do not believe these qualify for RevDel per WP:CFRD. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:40, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

::::I forgot to say that I didn't want the edits to be deleted, I just wanted you to know that the troll has returned 24.55.33.220 (talk) 00:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::This vandal just created an account called Texans are the true egyptians and adding "ОwИed by the АṸꞨŢΙΝ VΛΝDΛL". Please don't delete the revisions. We should start an LTA case called the "Austin LTA". By the way, I live in Austin 24.55.33.220 (talk) 03:03, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
