User talk:ToBeFree#UnwatchedPages

Being edited by the subject ("Dns75204" and an IPv6 range)?   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:50, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Skywatcher68}}, if this is the article subject, they're talking about themselves in the third person ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Slater&diff=prev&oldid=1294949016]). They were asked to disclose whether they have a conflict of interest four times and whether it's paid editing three times without responding, so I have blocked them from editing for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:35, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

That "Apostle of Agility" stuff is back.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:04, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{likely}} the previous editor who added the same material. Thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:30, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi ToBeFree. I hate to bring this up again, but I am a bit concerned about Vermelho7's behavior at Talk:Yura Borisov.

I previously mentioned that Vermelho7 requested a third opinion despite having been alerted about RUSUKR. You [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ToBeFree&diff=prev&oldid=1282673498 stated] {{tq|a third opinion is neither a definitive discussion result that must be implemented, nor is it a justification to ignore WP:GS/RUSUKR's extended-confirmed restriction}}. It seemed after this point the misunderstanding was cleared.

However, after you protected the page, a new account submitted an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Yura_Borisov#Proposal_to_add_criticism_to_Career_section edit request] on the talk page for something similar to what Vermelho7 added to the article previously. Another editor answered the request and decided not to implement this request. After this, Vermelho7 decided to challenge the other editor's conclusion and they then pinged the previous editor who provided a third opinion [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yura_Borisov&diff=prev&oldid=1292465838 stating] {{tq|some of these editors seem to be disregarding your previous 3O}}. As that editor did not respond to one of their comments they decided to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yura_Borisov&diff=prev&oldid=1293495706 ping] this editor again. Since the other editor has not responded, there has been consistent badgering.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yura_Borisov&diff=prev&oldid=1294783726][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yura_Borisov&diff=prev&oldid=1295097820] Mellk (talk) 18:05, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Mellk}}, there is a difference between

:* what non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to do in ArbCom-designated contentious topics such as WP:A/I/PIA, and

:* what non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to do in community-designated contentious topics such as WP:GS/RUSUKR,

:because the former refers to WP:ECR while the latter doesn't and defines own exceptions instead.

:Do you see the difference and how it could be relevant? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::While I understand that non-extended-confirmed editors are able to leave comments on the talk page in this case, not just edit requests, does the excessive pinging/badgering still count as being constructive? Mellk (talk) 18:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Perfect; I wasn't sure if I had to explain that difference or if you asked with it in mind. Thanks. {{u|Vermelho7}}, you're sending pings; I hope you see this one. While I personally see no need for action yet, I think people overestimate the power {{u|IOHANNVSVERVS}} has to make decisions there, and the importance of the article or which text it contains. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:51, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::::I see, thanks. I think I will just unsubscribe to that thread just in case. Mellk (talk) 19:05, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::When a user is required to use a talk page instead of editing directly, the most effective way of expressing "no" in response to their repeated requests could indeed be refusing to answer further. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:01, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
