I liked her. Bring her back. Please. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 08:15, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Well, since it's you, Roxy. But the fly is all yours now (though also crawling around in my archive). Please take good care of it. Bishonen | tålk 08:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC).
- I updated my fly before commenting earlier. Put in the transparent background latest version. Also, even though my personal favourite artist isn't featured in your rotating picture gallery, I always pause for a moment whenever the Monet comes up. It has always taken my breath away. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 09:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

- David Hockney rules the roost here, he has such an eye, and has constantly surprised me each time he does something else. I'm not going to refresh the page for your new pics, but shall wait till they happen naturally, it wont take long! - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 13:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ah. I don't know him well. There's very little by Hockney on Commons, as is natural with a living artist. But if you'd like to add the one that I found there, Roxy, or indeed another image of some kind, to my carousel here, feel free. (Don't add this one, it's fair use only.) Note the instructions at the top of the module, and note, talkpage stalkers, that this offer is extended to Roxy only. Anybody else who'd like to add an image, please ask first.

- Cannot say I miss the fly. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:07, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- The fly wasn't really suitable for Bish, it is far more appropriate on my page.
- As to Bish's generous offer to add to the picture gallery there are two reasons I have not accepted the invitation. One, I'd probably banjax the technical editing aspects beyond repair. b) This is Bish's page, and should reflect her taste, not mine, and lastly, I forgot. - Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 17:16, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Udham SIngh
Thanks for restoring the stable version. I would like to request page protection since these caste warriors are active in this article, and they wouldn't discuss in the talk page. I've tried it with this IP/newbie user. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:09, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Right. I see a whole year's semi set by me expired fairly recently. It's the kind of article that needs semi at least, surely, so strongly as people feel about the caste aspect etc. (Even for a caste issue, it just seems strange that anybody cares if this guy was a Kamboj or a Dalit. Perhaps there's something there that I'm not getting.) So, I'll do two years. That's not even in the drop-down menu, but I'm doing it anyway. Thanks for your vigilance, Fylindfotberserk. Bishonen | tålk 20:39, 3 May 2022 (UTC).
- Thanks ma'am. This caste POV push gets obvious when they'd just rant some anecdotal evidences and original researches, instead of seeking consensus backed by scholarly sources. On top of that they choose to rant everywhere except the section I asked them to discuss in, the one in which we had a consensus. I'd notify you if further disruption occurs in that article. Thanks again . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

The Bosporus
Good morning Bishzilla
through one of your many powers :-) could you please move "The Bosporus" back to its original name? Someone has moved it without discussion. Thank you, Alex2006 (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Alex, long time! I've moved it back, with a comment on Talk. I didn't actually need to use the fiery breath or other tools — I suppose there was no redirect in the way. But now, if I remember these arcana correctly, it'll need admin tools or a dinosaur to move it again. (I did leave a redirect.) Bishonen | tålk 16:00, 4 May 2022 (UTC).
- PS, ha, I see in the deletion log that there was in fact a redirect in the way, which I deleted without even trying, or noticing. Such is the power of the breath of the Zilla! Bishonen | tålk 16:13, 4 May 2022 (UTC).
- Great, I knew it would be easy for you, thanks! I suppose the delay between my message and yours was due to the fact that you were patrolling the sacred borders of the homeland, which have recently been subject to annoying intrusions from the east... but even they don't stand a chance against you! :-) Buona serata from Zürich in spring mode, Alex2006 (talk) 17:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Republican party
Hi Bishonen, hope you are having a good day. Apparently Nidhiki05 doesn't want to discuss this [1] and has decided to remove a tag [2] without consensus. [3]. I know you have warned them about similar behavior in the past. [4] If you feel this is not an issue feel free to ignore it, otherwise please help us calm this situation down. Thank you. DN (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC) I will be stepping away and will continue the discussion tomorrow. This incident has put me off for the rest of the day. Thanks again and sorry to disturb you. DN (talk) 23:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I removed the template per WP:WTRMT 3: "If it reasonably appears that the template did not belong". I am not sure why this made you so upset. Toa Nidhiki05 23:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- The issue is being discussed on talk, Darknipples, so I don't think it needs admin attention right now. Templates are removed all the time, and Republican Party (United States) is an article where intractable differences of opinion play out all the time. So I wouldn't expect the {{misleading}} tag to survive for very long. It seems like a good idea to leave the discussion for a bit and catch your breath. When you return to the article (if you do want to continue to be involved with such a highly contested article ), it seems to me it might be useful to look for sources and either propose a specific textual change on talk, or boldly make a change/make an addition to the lead and see where it goes. I hope you don't let these things worry you too much. Bishonen | tålk 07:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC).

DS alert
I don't understand your question about DS alert. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- An ARBPIA alert was placed on your talk at 18:34, 15 May 2022 and about an hour later (19:50, 15 May 2022) you started an arbitration enforcement request against the person placing the alert. The question at WP:AE was "Was there any connection, Triggerhippie?" [between the two events in the diffs in this comment]. That is, did one lead to the other? As mentioned at WP:AE, the question was pretty rhetorical as the answer can be inferred, so there is no need to reply now. Johnuniq (talk) 09:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- That's right. People often take the placing of a DS alert as an unfriendly action, even though it's just for information and says "It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date" (bolding in the original). I was asking if you were thereby inspired to take unfriendly action (an AE report) in return. Bishonen | tålk 10:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC).
- No, I started AE after he added and then reinserted a line in an article, which is under 1RR (the rule I thought he broke). His notice on my page didn't influence me posting on AE. Does it matter? --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 10:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

TurokSwe rangeblock
Hey, Bishonen. How are you doing? It appears as though TurokSwe has gotten a bit bolder with his socking from his range. He's back to edit-warring, as always. BOTTO (T•C) 15:31, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Add a little blatant vandalism to the mix, as well. BOTTO (T•C) 15:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, Botto. That's bad vandalism you link to. I found another, more harmless, instance here. But I don't know — I'm not sure I have any taste for blocking that range again, after reading their block log, with Bishonen all over it. It's been a long time since TurokSwe was blocked. Aren't most of the IP edits all right? Where is the edit warring you mention? And do you have any more examples of vandalism? Maybe it's time you took it to ANI, for more admin eyes. Sorry.

UTRS appeal #58923
DeaconShotFire requests unblock. They write,
I understand that I was blocked for rude behaviour and edit warring. I fully admit to doing this. If I am unblocked, I will not begin edit wars or harass other users. I will not engage in this behaviour again. I have a genuine interest in improving Wikipedia, as evidenced by my edit history. I have made significant changes (that are still in place) to lead sections of major articles such as Ronald Reagan and Elizabeth II. I hope to continue improving the lead sections of articles. Another editor stated on my talk page following my indefinite mute that I should be given a chance to appeal it, an editor with whom I made those kinds of major edits.
Would this be acceptable as far as it goes? DO they need a TBAN as an unblock condition? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:06, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- FWIW, Otocolobus cat looking through the fence window expresses my mood on this matter. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Roaming Wikipedia to edit lead sections while ignoring the rest of articles is a terrible habit, typical of fly-by editors and those pushing a strong POV. Generally, such editors have no interest in whether or not the statements they add to or remove from the lead are supported and sourced lower down. I'd be more likely to recommend an unblock on condition that the user leaves lead sections alone for say three or six months, in order to learn to edit articles rather than lead sections. As for the "other editor" who thought DSF should be given a chance to appeal the block specifically on their talkpage, yes, I saw that, and I'm not sure why DSF thinks it's a good idea to remind people of it. It was GoodDay showing his good judgment by asking why somebody should have talkpage access removed merely for addressing me as "degenerate". I don't know what the problem is that GoodDay sees with appealing via UTRS — it's not as public a place for posting choice insults, that's all. Otherwise it works the same way. Anyway, if you can carve out conditions for an unblock, Deepfriedokra, it's fine by me. I'm rather taken with the notion of DSF leaving lead sections alone for a time, but you needn't be bound by that. Yes, the Pallas's cat is expressive, isn't it? It would make a good admin.

Requesting Admin action: topic banned user back (right after the ban is over) and active on the same articles
Hi Bishonen.. I am aware that you may not be in a position to take action in such caste related stuff. I would like to ping RegentsPark, Doug Weller, Vanamonde93 so that they can have a look at Nobita456's recent edits right after the ban period is over. Nobita was topic banned for 3 months considering their excessive interest on Baidya/Bengali Kayastha rivalry and persistent disruptive edits on the consensus versions of these two articles (apart from related ones)! Since Nobita is an extended confirmed user, they have again resumed their old agenda related to these two protected articles. Would request all admins active on this talk page to review their recent edits and take suitable action in accordance with the objective of the topic ban imposed earlier. Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 12:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi admins, I would also like to request you to please check my edits as requested by Ekdalian. This is a content dispute and I think an experienced editor like LukeEmily is well capable to solve this matter. That's why I asked for his help. LukeEmily also agreed with me on the Bengali Kayastha talk page. Not only lukeEmily but Satnam and Chanchaldm also gave their opinion in favor of mine. I think this is not a big issue. My previous topic ban was unfortunate and has nothing to do with this as in three months I learned edit war has no value in Wikipedia thanks to you guys. Nobita456 (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- A fit case for indeffing as a SPA. Stayed low for three months (about 20 minor edits) and came back to edit-war. This particular proposal has been discussed to death at the talk-page. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Go ahead and file a SPA. Edit war? but where? TB please check the edit summary of every edit. Nobita456 (talk) 14:36, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Waves at Bish. Climbs back into deep fryer. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- This is above my paygrade. But I will say to Nobita: there's no need to go off half-cocked because you're called an SPA. It means "single-purpose account", and there's nothing to "file" about. Do you deny being a single-purpose account? Bishonen | tålk 16:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC).

- @Nobita456: This is better discussed on the article talk page. Regardless of the "rules", if you find yourself reverted by a couple of editors, you should open a discussion on the article talk page rather than edit war on the article. Discussion and consensus forming is always your best option. --RegentsPark (comment) 19:11, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2022).

- Several areas of improvement collated from community member votes have been identified in the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines. The areas of improvement have been sent back for review and you are invited to provide input on these areas.
- Administrators using the mobile web interface can now access Special:Block directly from user pages. (T307341)
- The IP Info feature has been deployed to all wikis as a Beta Feature. Any autoconfirmed user may enable the feature using the "IP info" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
- Remedy 2 of the Rachel Marsden case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to delete or reduce to a stub, together with their talk pages, articles related to Rachel Marsden when they violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
- An arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been closed.
Question about stalking
Since evidently noticing me at Kelly Loeffler, User:Reywas92 has been very obviously WP:HOUNDING my edits. I don't recall experiencing this before. Could you give me some pointers on how to deal with this? Thanks. Marquardtika (talk) 23:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Ouch. While I hesitate to invite User:Reywas92 to my page (I was hoping to walk away and ignore, considering the tone they've taken against me,[8]) they should preferably not be discussed without being pinged, so I have now done that. This is not an invitation to post here, Reywas, and I hope you won't; it's merely an FYI. Marquardtika, you both edit a lot, so this is a little unmanageable for me. Could you please provide diffs for where Reywas has followed you to pages they had not previously edited? If it is indeed obvious, I will act. Bishonen | tålk 07:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC).
- Sure, thanks. So here they undid my edit at Kelly Loeffler. They then headed over to J.D. Vance, which they had never edited before, to undo a recent edit of mine. They then headed over to Herschel Walker, which they had previously edited, again to undo a recent edit of mine. Then it was onto John Fetterman, which they had never edited before, where they made this edit. Then, finally, to Angie Craig, which they had never previously edited, to again undo a recent edit of mine. This cannot be coincidental, and seems instead to be some sort of revenge campaign or intimidation tactic undertaken after getting all caps BULLSHIT angry at me at Kelly Loeffler over what is, in fact, an incredibly boring dispute over whether readers need to know the name of her castle or what have you. Anyway, thank you for taking a look. Marquardtika (talk) 15:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's amazing that my modest edit at Kelly Loeffler has blossomed into all this aggression, with edit warring and hounding. But since it did indeed all follow from an edit I made, I don't think I'd better take any admin action. Instead, I've taken it to ANI. Take a look, Marquardtika, and see if you want to add anything. Bishonen | tålk 17:39, 8 June 2022 (UTC).
- Thank you for pursuing this, I appreciate it. Reywas92 has apologized (on the noticeboard thread you started), and I have accepted the apology. I don't think any further action is needed at this time. Marquardtika (talk) 13:52, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

June music
Look: I made the pic you liked my June calendar pic! Ukrainian peace music is "on" today, with the conductor! - Pentecost (on last Sunday and Monday in Germany) brought a rich harvest of great music in two church services (one with me singing in choir) and two concerts with my brother in the orchestra, - four pictures I took besides the symphonic one. Did you watch the violinist's story? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Sitush7
Sitush7 appears to impersonate another Wikipedia user. Thoughts? Dr.Pinsky (talk) 18:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, Dr.Pinsky. Thank you for your vigilance, but I don't think we can do anything about this username, even though it's a little unfortunate since the original Sitush is so well-known and respected in discussions of Indian articles. I was already discussing it with some Indian admins, and when I get a more definite reply from them, I'll probably ask the "new Sitush" (whose name is after all clearly distinguished from the original) if they'd be kind enough to change their username. Bishonen | tålk 07:31, 12 June 2022 (UTC).
- FYI, Dr.Pinsky, a sockpuppet investigation has been opened. I think we'll be able to block any further "Situshes" on sight. Bishonen | tålk 06:48, 13 June 2022 (UTC).
- I swear, I become aware of more SPIs from watching this talkpage than from watching the actual SPI feed. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 07:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Tamzin: I'm not sure I agree with closing the SPI, this is likely part of a much larger farm and it may be beneficial to run a CU to find the right master and/or the other socks. Unfortunately, I've been away to long to identify the correct farm. —SpacemanSpiff 12:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @SpacemanSpiff: Thanks for the ping. I looked into this a bit further to see if there was anyone worth endorsing against (as I'm loath to send a CU fishing anywhere on the subcontinent); Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Muhammadahmad79 jumped out based on this last year, but I see that angle was CU'd in May without a conclusive technical result (and I tend to agree with RoySmith that the writing styles are a bit different). If you can think of another master to check against, I'm open to endorsing; or, if you think the totality of their editing behavior adds up to an indef rather than the tempblock I gave for socking, I don't object. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 22:00, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I am still confident that Muhammadahmad79 is the actual sockmaster. Compare this edit with that of this new sock.[9] Both are adding the image of Muhammad Ali Jinnah "wearing a Sherwani and Jinnah Cap" and just above another image which was captioned as "[[Fatima Jinnah]] is also wearing a female Sherwani". 1 month block was beyond lenient.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
I should not be blocked from this because two guys set me up. They do have bad faith motives. They are bullying me. As an an Italian Ameriucan Catholic disabled perosn, I represent many voices on this page. You cannot just unilaterally block me from trying to correct the bias here. I am the one who asked for help in the first place. To whom do I appeal this? You cannot be the final authority as one administrator? Why do you tyake DeCausa and Doug Weller's side over mine? There are veyr few Italian American, Catholic, or disabled editors here. Wikipedia discirmiantes against us. I use my really name. You can look me up. I am asking you to please unblock me. I should be allowed to edit one word from an article without being blocked. Who is your superior adminsitrator? You cannot be the final say? The article pushes a point of view. Why am I not allowed to fix that? I had not tried to edit it in months. I should not get penalzied for all the months that I did not edit it? I am begging you to unblock me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbinetti (talk • contribs) 23:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

P-block needed
NebulaOblongata is too invested in WikiIslam. cc: @Doug Weller: TrangaBellam (talk) 09:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Some might perceive it to be poor form to appeal for a p-block against a user when you are engaged in open content disputes with them (i.e, 1, 2). I would have appreciated receiving a notice about this appeal to p-block me out of sheer courtesy. I am glad I happened to snoop on TrangaBellam's contributions to come across this appeal.
- I would appreciate TrangaBellam engaging in meaningful discussions before attempting to enforce retaliatory punitive action against me. This is upsetting and creates needless hostility.
- What does TrangaBellam mean by "too invested"? I would like to know. Also, is being "too invested" in an article grounds for p-blocking? Furthermore, I have already clarified on my Talk page to another user that I have zero connections with WikiIslam.
- I am happy to defend my case and provide administrators support with whatever information they need (within acceptable limits).
- I have recently increased my editing activity on Wikipedia due to abundant free time on my hands lately, in case anyone is interested in my personal life and motivations.
- Sincerely,
NebulaOblongata (talk) 11:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)- Fwiw, P-block means partial block. And, every puppet claimed to us about having no connection to WikiIslam till they got blocked. TrangaBellam (talk) 12:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Because puppets have claimed to having no connection to WikiIslam, it doesn't give you the right to assume that I am guilty of what you accuse me of. Please read guilt by association as an ad hominem fallacy. NebulaOblongata (talk) 12:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

FAR for Palladian architecture
I have nominated Palladian architecture for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 18:14, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Bish
I started a new article (I've been outside too, it was very nice), Larries. Weird subject, feel free to watchlist, it may attract passionate people. I'd like to redirect Larry Stylinson to it, but that requires the power of Grayskull, I mean admin. So if you are willing. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Holy shit, there's a name for that. It's a constant source of vandalism and disruptive edit requests. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- @ScottishFinnishRadish You're quite welcome to watchlist it too. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Shipping (fandom), Mr. Fröding? Never heard of it, but I lead a sheltered life. OK, I've created the redirect. Not sure if I'm supposed to recreate the ridiculous history as well... nah, surely not. Your reference, Tiffany, Everything I need I get from you: how fangirls created the Internet as we know it, sounds very interesting. Brand new, too (2022). Bishonen | tålk 16:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC).
- It (shipping) was new to me too, but WP-articles to the rescue. I had to look up slash fiction too, turned out it wasn't about stories with Jason Voorhees. I haven't seen Sherlock (TV series), but now I know about Johnlock... also toplock and bottomlock. I am no longer sheltered.
- On shipping, did you ever have an opinion on if Dylan should be with Brenda or Kelly? 1990:s shipping. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:31, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Deanna Troi with William Riker or Worf is my old-school shipping. Weird that Troi's headshot is so bad compared to Worf and Riker. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:38, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Allen Career Institute
Hello, I hope you are doing good. I am reaching out to you regarding this draft that was protected in 2016. I gathered a lot more sources after that time and created a new draft and went to deletion review. It was decided that the draft should be allowed for the review. But it is still locked...I reached out to robert who were one of the participants [19] and they suggested I should reach out to closing admin, that seems to be you. May I please request you to unblock it so that someone can review? Mtpos (talk) 16:45, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, Mtpos. I don't quite understand why the article would need to be unprotected in order for the draft to be reviewed. But then I'm not very familiar with the review process. I have asked Robert about it, here; please feel free to go there and take part in the discussion. Bishonen | tålk 17:21, 17 June 2022 (UTC).
