Last year, you blocked {{user|Raheeiejaz907}} for socking.

:Thanks for the head's up, [[User:Saqib]]. It's highly likely I didn't block because I wasn't aware and so didn't look into it. The sockmaster of Raheeiejaz907 is [[User:Raheelejaz907]] who hasn't edited in a while, so there is unlikely to be much in the way of current technical evidence. I am no longer a checkuser (I never keep those tools when I leave ArbCom) so I couldn't investigate anyway. If Atif ahmad8 is editing unproblematically, and there is no evidence of ongoing socking (that is one user editing the same material simultaneously from two or more accounts), then it's not something that would excite my interest anyway. It's the spirit/intention of the policy/guideline that I tend to follow, rather than strict wording. If Atif ahmad8 starts to edit problematically or in concert with Raheelejaz907, then please let me know, and I'll look into it.

Hi SilkTork. Remember {{User|Lobsterthermidor}}? You blocked him in Feb '21 and he resurfaced as an IP last May (see [[User talk:SilkTork/Archive2/Archive_65#You may remember Lobsterthermidor|here]]) when you re-blocked him. Well, he's been back editing since at least last October from the IPv6 range {{IPuser|2A00:23C6:C423:4401:0:0:0:0/64}}. I came across the edits by chance while doing AV work. He's staying away from his former editing areas, but there's [[WP:DUCK|no doubt]] about it: compare [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sir_Christopher_Sykes,_2nd_Baronet&oldid=1056883448 this] (before) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sir_Christopher_Sykes,_2nd_Baronet&oldid=1221286675 this] (after his edits) for example. I haven't looked at the edits in any depth, but the work looks depressingly familiar: superficially good, but bloated and probably riddled with the usual OR and unreliable sources. Worth doing anything about, do you think? —[[User:Smalljim|Small]][[User talk:Smalljim#top|jim]] 22:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC) |

:I agree, that is clearly [[User:Lobsterthermidor]]. Blocked, and then I blocked the range.

:Sorry, missed your question earlier, [[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda]]. I would say that an inappropriate infobox would be one that people would object to and wish to remove.

:: You gave a very general answer, but I'd like a real case, just one. For example look at one of [[Rossini]] (discussion archived), [[Rinaldo (opera)]] and [[Vivaldi]], the three latest cases I don't understand. Vivaldi might be the easiest: not the whole infobox was removed but the link to his works, edit-warring 4 times. To my simple brain, a connection from a composer to their work (which are only on a different page because too many) would be most wanted. The thread was continued on the general MoS infobox talk as you may have seen. - On [[User:Gerda Arendt/Stories#21 Mar|Bach's birthday]] ;) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 19:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC) |

:: I began to upload vacation pics, in case of interest. - There was agreement on a compromise infobox for classical composer, drafted in 2008 and released into Main space in 2010: {{tl|infobox classical composer}}.

For me, the community has spoken clearly in [[Talk:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/Archive 16|the Mozart discussion]], by number and quality of arguments.

:::A general answer is all I can give, really. Infoboxes are not something that really drives me one way or the other. I don't get the passion that some people have against them or for them, so I can't really get into that sort of mind space. But I do know that people do get passionate about them, and that there is a debate, and people disagree. As such, it would be inappropriate to come down firmly on one side or another. If life were different, and instead of the WMF that we do have, we had the WMF that we have always wanted, we could use some developer time and money on setting up Wikipedia so that there was a British language version and an American language version, which would auto-default to the country you're in, or could be set in preferences. That would save a lot of silly editing back and forth over the spelling of colour/color, etc. And same with infoboxes. Set it as a preference, and those who like them, could have them on every article - or just in categories they chose, and those who don't like them, wouldn't see them at all, but would instead be shown just the lead image and caption. Problem solved. I'd probably set it so that I see them - at least on articles about albums. I find them very useful on those, and use them all the time. I think I tend to use them on articles about plants as well. Oh, and military articles, they are very useful. I probably use them a fair bit without really being aware of it.

:::: The problem of not seeing them was solved, see the script created in 2023, and introduced in [[Talk:Robert le diable#Bad manners]] (look for "tada").

:::::Fascinating. I haven't tried the script because infoboxes don't bother me, and as I say above I find some of them useful. But that script should be advertised more for those who do dislike infoboxes. But, then, I suppose, they would dislike them by proxy for all readers, and so wouldn't be happy with a personal script.

:::::: Thank you - I also haven't tried it because infoboxes don't bother me ;) New day: I think you believe me when I say that I am interested in music, not infoboxes. Music includes those who make it, composing and performing. For some reason that I don't understand, infoboxes for composers became a problem, but for performers not so, which was in 2010 - while I joined in 2009 and didn't notice.

Someone could write a doctorate on people getting obsessed with petty details on the internet. I like this: [https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png]. Many of our longest running and biggest disputes are on petty details. Should it be The Beatles or the Beatles? I took part in that debate, and supported the Beatles because that's what our guideline said, and it's simply a house style. Not that important.

{{out}}I feel your pain Gerda. You may console yourself with viewing the manuscript, on which, in Britten's own hand, the title is shown as "A BOY WAS BORN". So the way the title has been published was not in Britten's control anyway, but down to the vagaries of whichever "house style" has been in fashion!

: Thank you, but no need for consolation ;) (I should have said scar not wound.) - I doubt that Britten was against the publisher's version. The image was removed from the article. - My little consolation was that when I had removed the DYK nomination for Christmas and they urged me to bring it back because they were short on Christmas hooks, I insisted that the published version be used; also, there's no mentioning of the other version on Wikipedia. - Back to today: how do you like my vacation pics? I managed half of the third day. - I don't need consolation for Vivaldi, but help: I find it impossible that at present his infobox - after the list of works was taken away on grounds I fail to understand - has no indication left that he even was a composer. We'd have different ways to say so: |

: I don't use the term "disruptive" often, but do disconnect a composer from his list of works looks disruptive to me, and if we'd really have guidelines recommending that we should change them. However it looks like just a misunderstanding of the guidelines. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 10:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC) |

Revision as of 21:01, 22 May 2024
I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. Barack Obama
Our text should arise as a summary of the reliable sources, rather than editors first deciding what they want to say and then looking for sources. Agricolae
I am open to recall, using Whpq's wording from their RfA:
"if editors I trust and respect are telling me I should not be an admin, then I would voluntarily resign as an administrator."

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. How do you like the compromise in the composer's infobox? - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Gerda! SilkTork (talk) 16:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- plum tree blossom for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- today a sad task - memory of Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Raheeiejaz907
Last year, you blocked Raheeiejaz907 (talk · contribs) for socking. Raheeiejaz907 renamed the talk page of Atif ahmad8 (talk · contribs) Typically, such actions are indicative of socking as well. While the editing patterns of both users are similar, editing Pakistan military-related BLPs. I'm curious why latter wasn't also blocked based on this behavioral evidence? —Saqib (talk | contribs) 19:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the head's up, User:Saqib. It's highly likely I didn't block because I wasn't aware and so didn't look into it. The sockmaster of Raheeiejaz907 is User:Raheelejaz907 who hasn't edited in a while, so there is unlikely to be much in the way of current technical evidence. I am no longer a checkuser (I never keep those tools when I leave ArbCom) so I couldn't investigate anyway. If Atif ahmad8 is editing unproblematically, and there is no evidence of ongoing socking (that is one user editing the same material simultaneously from two or more accounts), then it's not something that would excite my interest anyway. It's the spirit/intention of the policy/guideline that I tend to follow, rather than strict wording. If Atif ahmad8 starts to edit problematically or in concert with Raheelejaz907, then please let me know, and I'll look into it. SilkTork (talk) 10:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- But I believe Atif ahmad8 should be blocked, with the possibility of being unblocked only if they agree not to engage in sockpuppetry again. I strongly suspect that the IPs responsible for removing sourced material from this BLP yesterday belong to this Atif ahmad8. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 10:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- I can't help you there, as I no longer have the tools to look into it. You're better off putting forward a case at WP:SPI. I don't have much experience at that sort of thing, but I do understand that they like to have evidence in the form of diffs. SilkTork (talk) 11:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Lobsterthermidor part III
Hi SilkTork. Remember Lobsterthermidor (talk · contribs)? You blocked him in Feb '21 and he resurfaced as an IP last May (see here) when you re-blocked him. Well, he's been back editing since at least last October from the IPv6 range 2A00:23C6:C423:4401:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I came across the edits by chance while doing AV work. He's staying away from his former editing areas, but there's no doubt about it: compare this (before) and this (after his edits) for example. I haven't looked at the edits in any depth, but the work looks depressingly familiar: superficially good, but bloated and probably riddled with the usual OR and unreliable sources. Worth doing anything about, do you think? —Smalljim 22:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, that is clearly User:Lobsterthermidor. Blocked, and then I blocked the range. In order to discourage Lobsterthermidor from continuing this game, we should track down and remove all their recent contributions per WP:EVADE. SilkTork (talk) 08:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- User:Smalljim, I've reverted the edits I spotted. Let me know if you spot any others. SilkTork (talk) 08:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks once again for your non-involved admin action. There are 391 edits to 116 pages - many of which have later edits, so it's not trivial work. As a start I've made a simple list at User:Smalljim/Lt III fix. —Smalljim 23:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted the edits by 2A00:23C6:C423:4401:FC7F:7A96:5E67:304E. I'll see if I can get round to some more later. SilkTork (talk) 08:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've done a few this evening. —Smalljim 21:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- He's back. Same /64 range. —Smalljim 11:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've extended the block. SilkTork (talk) 09:51, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- TVM. It's a shame he can't stay on Commons where the rules suit him better and he's already done loads of work. —Smalljim 11:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (DYK) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old (OTD). - I can't recall a DYK hook with links to five composers, so am a bit proud of it. Better than my first idea, actually. (The discussion is on the talk, and reading it as humourous is perhaps a good idea.) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
