- Try asking at Wikipedia:Help desk. Most IPs through a VPN will be already blocked anyway. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 12:38, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- no i mean that i cant access discord roblox reddit minecraft etc when i use 99.229.113.55

- and i absoulty hate windows 10 and mac os reason its on school computers i prefer windows 7 and 11 then windows 11 and linux over macos 2605:8D80:64C:54FF:F434:AEB8:D1C4:CEDD (talk) 12:48, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not bothered about what your school does to block other web sites or what OS they use. I'm only prepared to answer questions about Wikipedia. From the looks of your grammar, spelling, capitalisation and punctuation I can understand why your school has blocked certain sites.

John Hemming (historian)
Hi, I'm desperate trying to move this article back to its original title John Hemming (explorer). Some guy did an undiscussed move in 2019, and for whatever reason, I am completely unable to revert it myself. Do you think you can help me? I already made a request. Saturdayopen (talk) 07:16, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- It, John Hemming (explorer), needed to be deleted. Fixed now. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 07:22, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
GNU & Linux-libre
Sorry to trouble you, but we are having persistent WP:COI vandalism and editing against talk page consensus on these two pages from one IP editor. Would it be possible to have some level of semi-protection for a few weeks? Thank you! - Ahunt (talk) 20:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Ahunt given them both a week. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! - Ahunt (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Absolute nonsense. This user refuses to engage in discussion on the talk page and instead asks an administrator to lock down the page. He also accused me of having a "COI" without any evidence whatsoever. There is no "consensus", it's just Ahunt listing his opinions to one other user on the talk page whilst ignoring all sources.185.217.158.63 (talk) 22:18, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Ahunt has a history, eg. Talk:Linux_distribution, of not understanding and/or acknowledging the difference between the GNU operating system, GNU variants which use the Linux kernel, such as GNU+Linux, and the Linux kernel itself. He has already proven himself to be biased against GNU; on that page he said "LOL" when another user provided a quote about how people like to run GNU. I have no doubt he will change any and all terminology back to the confusing and ambiguous mistake of referring to multiple different things as "Linux", just so long as any and all mentions of GNU are omitted.185.217.158.63 (talk) 22:26, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! - Ahunt (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Harsh Dhage
Why you deleted that page.. That's is important and trending person in our city. Please. Undo ur changes Pratikpagare19 (talk) 02:40, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Harsh Dhage
Why you deleted that page.. That is do important topic in our city Pratikpagare19 (talk) 02:54, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Request about Harsh Dhage
Sir please Restore the page which you recently deleted. As the person mentioned in on that page is so important and trending topic in our city and state. Thank you Pratikpagare19 (talk) 03:20, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Pratikpagare19: I looked at the deleted page, and I saw no evidence that Dhage is significant or important. —C.Fred (talk) 03:45, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
What evidence you want sir Pratikpagare19 (talk) 08:32, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
What evidence i have to put in that. Page. I will add that Pratikpagare19 (talk) 08:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Please Restore fast - Harsh Dhage
Sir if is there any mistake in the page, plz correct it. And restore the page please Pratikpagare19 (talk) 03:34, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- Pratikpagare19 one request is enough. You don't need to keep posting. While he may be trending and important to your town there was nothing to show that he meets Wikipedia:Notability. For example you linked to Google Play where he has apps but that does not show why he is notable. You also linked to Fatumbird Solutions but I couldn't find his name anywhere there. Even if it is there it just shows that is where he works but not why he is notable. You need to find sources that are independent of him an discuss him. A source that says "Harsh Dhage is a software developer" isn't proving notability. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:44, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Actually he is the government officer. Due to his works in COVId-19 time. Vaccination and COVId rules work He got famous in city Pratikpagare19 (talk) 04:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- But being a government work is not a sign of notability. Nor is being known in one city. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Revenue Operations
Why did you move Revenue Operations to a draft? The citations are valid. Do you want more? — Preceding unsigned comment added by StephenDiorio (talk • contribs) 13:01, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- StephenDiorio Because it didn't really look notable. Two of the sources may not always be relilable. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Its one of the fastest growing jobs in North America and there is no citation for it? What specific sources are not credible? I wanted to show a diversity of views and open up the conversation on the topic.... Do you want academic citations as well? I would appreciate it if you republished it. StephenDiorio (talk) 13:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- StephenDiorio I didn't say that it was without citations. If you think it is fine as is then restore it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:41, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Re: Petrovići
It's because of MOS:DABREDIR - essentially, if the topic of a disambiguation page is "Foo", and an article "Bar" has a pertinent redirect saying "Foo (but Bar)", then the latter is the thing that should be linked from the disambiguation list because that makes it clear why it's there, it does not stand out. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Request about WP:CIVIL on Cessna 310
Sorry to trouble you with this, but could you have a look at this talk page conversion. It seems to me that it concluded with an unprovoked personal attack, although I think the editor in question meant it for another editor rather than me. The whole communication string is there, plus a couple of edit summaries in the article. I think someone needs admonishing for that uncivil outburst. If it is me that is in the wrong I am happy to be informed so. Thanks for your time looking this over. - Ahunt (talk) 17:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ahunt It looks like Acroterion already did. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) (watching) @Ahunt:, for clarity, my remarks regarding
bad-faith guesswork and wanton display of ignorance
were directed wholly at you. The editor who uploaded the image is not only now dead and unable to defend himself, but was for many years a respected administrator on en.wp. If you think that it's "civil" to repeatedly accuse him of fakery is about the worse allegation you can make. Before climbing the WP:CIVIL pole, see that WP:ASPERSIONS aren't waiting for you at the bottom. You failed to provide any evidence, except your own opinion, regarding the provenance of the photo, and as you must know, diffs or it didn't happen. Arbcom has codified, thatAn editor must not accuse another of misbehavior without evidence, especially when the accusations are repeated or severe
. As I said to Bilcat, I have no opinion on the merits of the photograph or not; but you behavior towards an editor no longer here to defend himself, I found poor, to say the least. SN54129 17:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)- User:CambridgeBayWeather: thanks, but it looks like my request for someone to look at this has resulted in another personal attack right above, here on your talk page. Just for the record, I agreed with User:Carguychris' edit summary comment that the admin who posted the image clearly did so as a joke for use on his talk page. The image is too comical to take as a serious picture. - Ahunt (talk) 18:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Serial Number 54129 it looks to me as if Ahunt is talking about the picture, not using the best of terms, but you seem to be directing comments to the person which are bordering on attacks. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:58, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.

- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
Flair Airlines
The reason I bolded the boxes is so that the table could be sorted. All the other airline destination pages have a sortable table. Cherrell410 (talk) 00:06, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Cherrell410. Sorry I took out too much formatting. You had
{| class="wikitable sortable" !'''Country''' !'''Province/state''' !'''City''' !'''Airport''' !''Notes''' !'''{{abbr|Refs|References}}''' |}
which gives this:
Country | Province/state | City | Airport | Notes | Refs |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mexico | Baja California Sur | Los Cabos | Los Cabos International Airport | ||
Jalisco | Puerto Vallarta | Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport | Begins November 3, 2022 | ||
Quintana Roo | Cancun | Cancun International Airport |
I meant to go with
{| class="wikitable sortable" !Country !Province/state !City !Airport !''Notes !{{abbr|Refs|References}} |}
which gives this:
Country | Province/state | City | Airport | Notes | Refs |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mexico | Baja California Sur | Los Cabos | Los Cabos International Airport | ||
Jalisco | Puerto Vallarta | Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport | Begins November 3, 2022 | ||
Quintana Roo | Cancun | Cancun International Airport |
- I've fixed it. I'm not convinced that the tables should be sorted but I'm lazy to argue about it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 03:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. But if you take a look at all the other airline destination pages........... Cherrell410 (talk) 12:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Cherrell410. Not all. Other than the first the other airlines were picked at random from the navigation box at the bottom of the page. See Canadian North, (not sortable) List of Air Canada destinations (sortable but not bold and a terrible colour), PAL Airlines (no table), North Star Air (no table), Calm Air (no table), Air North (sortable but not bold), Harbour Air Seaplanes (sortable but not bold), Air Tindi (no table) or List of WestJet destinations (sortable but not bold). When I say bold I mean that the table does not have ''' to produce bold text or in the table combined with the !, extra bold text. I don't recall seeing a table that used both ''' and !. That some do does not make it right, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#When not to use boldface. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 13:25, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- But making a table a header row, it automatically bolds the header. Also, I would be glad to go add tables to some of the airlines that don't have tables. Cherrell410 (talk) 15:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Cherrell410. I know the words are bold when using the ! and that's why I fixed it. I don't remove tables when I see them but there is no requirement to include them or what format they should take. If you want to add more, well it's Wikipedia and we can all edit. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 03:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Agdam (disambiguation)
Speedy deletion nomination of Agdam (disambiguation)
Hello CambridgeBayWeather,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Iseult and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Agdam (disambiguation) for deletion, because it is unnecessary per one of the criteria at WP:G14.
If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Iseult}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
Iseult Δx parlez moi 04:40, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Iseult Did you see the third one on that link,"A redirect that ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not redirect to a disambiguation page or a page that performs a disambiguation-like function." In this case Agdam (disambiguation) redrects to Agdam a disambiguation page. There are thousands of page called "Something (disambiguation)" that redirects to "Something" and example from Wikipedia:Disambiguation is Mercury (disambiguation) that redirects to Mercury and Fred Smith (disambiguation) redirects to Fred Smith. Having a redirect like that is common and accepted. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 04:49, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Central Committee of the 6th Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks)
Hi
The name of the party in the given period was the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) and not Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. So I moved it back to the correct name :) TheUzbek (talk) 08:45, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- TheUzbek OK but you need to create redirects or disambiguation pages for all of those that end in (Bolsheviks). The one I moved didn't have a redirect and people will type in the sorter and easier name. Plus is the common name really "Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks)"? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 08:48, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Short history lesson: the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party split into the "Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks)" and the "Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Mensheviks)". So there does exist a Menshevik counterpart named "Central Committee of the xxx of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Mensheviks)" It was only in 1952 that the party dropped "Bolshevik" since, as Stalin said, there is no opposition to there does not make sense to use the appelation Bolshevik any longer (Bolshevik is Russian for "Majority") --TheUzbek (talk) 08:51, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- TheUzbek Thanks. I did know some of that. It's important to have redirects and / or disambiguations for them. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 08:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Osijek Incursion
Hi,
I have seen that you moved a page Osijek Incursion (1685), to just Osijek Incursion, saying that it does not require disambiguation.
I would like to point out that there was at least one more Osijek Incursion made by Nikola Zrinski in 1664, we just don't have the article about it yet, but I might write it sometime in the future.
Franjo Tahy (talk) 10:34, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Franjo Tahy If you do then the current Osijek Incursion can be turned into a disambiguation. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 10:48, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Editor has now moved "West Ford" to "West Ford, Founder of Gum Springs"
And introduced some referencing errors, and deleted valid sources, and didn't move the associated article-talk page.... I've started to open a dialogue on their talk page but I am kind of flummoxed as to what to do...there is so much to now pull apart... Help. Shearonink (talk) 00:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- I am having internet connectivity issues at the moment, internet is coming and going... but I realized I can't open a discussion about the page move on the actual article talk page because this editor did not move the article's talk page. I have to give up for the night. Shearonink (talk) 00:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

- Oswald Pinkerton The purpose of Wikipedia is not to be a place to write adverts for yourself, see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:User pages. There are other place that you can promote your career. Create, or better yet, add to other articles and then you can write a short bio without all the links to other sites spamming yourself.

- its my bio? Bit boring. Can I make one about a channel? Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Beethoven. They have a page and that’s completely discussion of them for the sake of it existing/promo of their existence/brand. Don’t get that? And as it says, the wider community clearly agrees with that idea, so can I make my own for the sake of entertainment/interpersonal/online enjoyment and insight.

- Also, I think the revisions to make language more understandable for non-professionals is a great idea. On the younger side, I don’t see how anyone can decipher the rhetoric language in many and all rules and regulation articles, because they’re so unnecessarily long-winded.

- Oswald Pinkerton Those people have articles not user pages, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Beethoven, and were not written by themselves. On top of that those people have sources showing their notability. Your user page had links to YouTube and Instagram and they don't prove notability and you should not be writing about yourself, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. And many editors, including younger ones, are able to understand how Wikipedia works. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 12:03, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- A blanket statement at the end there and I’m loving the passive aggression. British? I sure am. Using wikipedia is extremely helpful when you’re not overwhelmed with links and uncovered coding and I’m aware those artists have articles not pages, it was more the promo of them as people I was referring to. I was asking if it is ok if I were to write an article on another channel (my friends) as a nice gesture with an unbiased autobiography (without external links). I’ve thought and realised how external links can be negative with sock puppets but I still don’t see how a user page can’t have external links. I like your page and your website is cool but that is an external (promoted) link. How do I get around this? Part of why I logged on is because of how irrelevant I am. It’d be funny and to be honest a mark of history but if it’s really impossible to write an article for my friends and especially myself I don’t know. When my friend has a viral video of 500k views does that justify their value? Oswald Pinkerton (talk) 12:17, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- omg I just watched a video on article creation 10 edits and 4 days. Imma go make that zhangjiajie article way more bubbling Oswald Pinkerton (talk) 12:30, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Bit rude ghosted me on wikipedia im crying Oswald Pinkerton (talk) 08:08, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- {{u|Oswald Pinkerton}. You didn't say anything that required a reply. Couple of comments. If you want to Jibber Jabber then try a social media site. And if someone not talking to you for a couple of days makes you cry the internet may not be for you. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:50, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

How to move if page is already taken
I see you moved one of my articles back to draft and stated it was self promotion because I added an “A”? The reason I added an A was because I couldn’t figure out how to publish it given that the page name was already taken by another article with the same name. Hence the A, as the first letter in the alphabet. I’m sure there’s a better way to do this but it was not at all clear what to do here. Can you assist in publishing this the correct way, since obviously I did it the wrong way? Zijohnny (talk) 06:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Ok I think I figured out the right way to do this. Zijohnny (talk) 07:21, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Zijohnny I didn't move it to draft because of the A. I was confused as to why you used the A as it does not appear to be part of his name. I moved it because it looked promotional. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva

Edit Conflict
oops, it looks like you deleted the page and I posted on the talk page contesting the deletion, at the same time - Talk:MT4* (Placeholder). Jay (talk) 06:35, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Jay. It was a copy of Bad for Me (Meghan Trainor song)#Background without attribution. I don't really want to restore it with the copyvio but I don't want to delete Talk:MT4* (Placeholder) either. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:41, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
