== Page Views Graph on Talk Pages == |

Hi Lindsay658. I noticed your edit on [[Talk:Vince Lombardi]] adding {{tl|Graph:PageViews}}. I checked your contribs and noticed that it seems like you have added this to over 500 pages in last week. Is there somewhere that you got consensus to do this? PageViews is generally only needed on highly viewed articles and in a limited capacity even then. If you did get consensus to do this, please let me know where. If not, I would recommend you stop adding the template to talk pages until you get consensus to add this graph to this many talk pages. I would recommend [[WP:VP]].Thanks!<span style="white-space:nowrap; font-family: Harlow Solid Italic;">[[User:Gonzo_fan2007|<span style="font-size: small; color: teal;"> « Gonzo fan2007</span>]] ''[[User talk:Gonzo_fan2007#top|<span style="color: #191970;">(talk)</span>]] @ </span> 14:28, 9 July 2018 (UTC) |

Re: blocking
If a registered user gets blocked (in many cases due to a patently offensive username), and then attempts to edit after being blocked, whatever IP address that user is attempting to edit from gets automatically blocked for 24 hours. This appears on the Special:Ipblocklist as:
- [SomeTimestamp] [SomeAdmin] blocked #[SomeBlockNumber] (expires [SomeTimestamp + 24 hours]) (Unblock) (Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "[SomeBadUser]". The reason given for [SomeBadUser]'s block is: "[SomeGoodReason]")
This is intended to reduce the effect of vandals who vandalize with multiple accounts, whilst still protecting the privacy of their actual IP address. In the future, you can place something on your talk page like this:
- {{unblock|my IP address was recently used by [SomeBadUser]}}
That will be get attention more quickly and effectively than e-mail. — Jun. 27, '06 [11:12] <freak|>
Belated best wishes for a happy 2018

Vexatious litigant
You may wish to add Dennis Nilsen to this category. Regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 04:22, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip Kieronoldham. However, given Wikipedia rules, and despite his extraordinary level of legal action, I can't find anything within the current Wikipedia article that would allow me to state that he has the status of having been declared a vexatious litigant. Any suggestions? Lindsay658 (talk) 04:28, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- I can add info., Lindsay658. It can be stating how he, with his union, trade union etc. background has apparently made himself perpetually unpopular with successive warders. He also (at least as of 10 years ago), petitions the Home Office with complaints as to alleged abuse/infringements of "human rights" and rules. Can send yous a citation if you like? I'm sure I added this content 3 or so years ago.
- As soon as the relevant info is there, Kieronoldham, you can either (a) alert me, or (b) add "Category:Vexatious litigants" to his article yourself, Best, Lindsay658 (talk) 04:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. All the best. I'm sure it's there in the aftermath section, but I'll look into this tomorrow. Best regards, Key.--Kieronoldham (talk) 04:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Question
Hi Lindsay - apologies for reaching out this way I struggle with wikipedia's talk pages.. I think there might be an error on the following page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors - in particular the table: Table of error types, could you have a look ? It seems inconsistent with other pages, in particular the true positive and true negative - thanks a lot - date: 28 march 2018 Xavier maxime (talk) 09:28, 28 March 2018 (UTC).
- As you're aware, User:Xavier maxime, anyone (unless they are "blocked") can make any change or addition to a Wikipedia article that they might choose to make (unless the page is "protected": e.g., see padlock icon at top right of "List of Russian military bases abroad"). Consequently, anyone, regardless of their level of technical understanding (or adherence to "urban myths") are entitled — and encouraged — to do so. This "on again" / "off again" series of changes from one to the other to which you have alluded has gone on many times since the article was created. It is one of the reasons that editors, other than myself, who understand mathematics and statistics more than myself, constantly monitor the article. Lindsay658 (talk) 17:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
correcting my error
Thanks for trying to correct my error.
Let me explain my intent, and ask you how to achieve it. I revised the article, placing many page references where there had been none before. I like to close with references, rather than with footnotes and references. I thought if I deleted pre-existing references I could place my references in pre-existing footnotes and change heading. That didn't work.
If you approve my intent, can you tell me how to achieve it?TBR-qed (talk) 21:30, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
