Hi Daniel Case. I saw this and believe that this is part of the same pattern: 1; 2. Possibly linked to this user. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 03:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Rui Gabriel Correia: There is a long and complicated discussion about this block that I was recently pinged about. Basically, I don't feel comfortable extending the block to the whole site due to a note saying, basically, don't change this block without consulting a checkuser. Adding more pages to the partial block was as far as I felt I could go. Daniel Case (talk) 19:26, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Bunk'd Cast Table
Hey there!
So recently, I had my edit reverted by a user who constantly reverts my edits and is quite rude about it. I forgot about the rule of waiting until a season premieres to make cast updates but I also added a table because there are so many cast changes on Bunk'd that I believed it would be beneficial. There are many Wikipedia pages that utilize this setup and I was only trying to do what I thought may be right. Reverting my edit and putting "No" as the reason is quite rude and I do not appreciate that user constantly doing that to me. I get it about the cast changes and not adding the new cast, but a table that is used for shows with such large cast turnovers? Plus, that took me a while to create and I just wanted to contribute. The user is Amaury. We are all editors on here and I know there are certain protocols that I may have forgotten but being civil and nice about things goes a long way.

Blocked on Dutch Wiki.
Hello Daniel,
My Dutch account [Gebruiker:Peter Horn] is blocked and I can not reach an administrator. I have tried EVERYTHING. My IP address is 70.24.224.136, not the one that they blocked
Peter Horn User talk 05:07, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- Even my talk page is blocked. Peter Horn User talk 05:15, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Peter Horn: Unfortunately I am a) only an administrator here at enwiki and b) not very good at speaking Dutch. I can't do anything to help you there.
Perhaps you might see if there's a Dutch-native speaker here on enwiki (there are many others, as perhaps you know) and see if they might be able to get through to an admin there.
To be fair, this does seem rather extreme. Daniel Case (talk) 06:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

You have no editing rights. The reason given for your block is: Open proxy - More information. If you only want to read Wikipedia, this is of no importance. You have access to all available information.
You clicked on a link to edit a page on Wikipedia, either to edit its text or to create a new article. You cannot (currently) do this because you are blocked. If you only want to read Wikipedia you are not missing anything.
User not logged in: if you are not using a user account and you receive this message, your external IP address has been blocked. An IP address is a number that identifies your computer on the Internet. Yours is 158.69.234.201. If there are problems with anonymous users, such as in the case of vandalism, their IP address is sometimes blocked. This is not necessarily meant personally. Many people share their IP address with other users. This is almost certainly the case if you are connected to the Internet through a school or company. Unwanted edits by someone else can unfortunately be the reason that you don't have editing rights now. It is also possible that your IP address has been blocked because you want to perform edits in Wikipedia via a mobile internet connection. Mobile networks assign dynamic IP addresses that are blocked from anonymous operations by default for security reasons.
Solution: Some blocks are imposed for a short period of time. Look in the log until when the block is running. There you can also see which type of blocking has been imposed. If you see the entry only anonymous, then you will have editing rights if you log in as a registered user. If you also see the entry Create account blocked, then you cannot create an account via your current internet connection. However, if this last entry is not there, you can simply create a user account. Information about other solutions can be found on the Solutions for blocked users page.
Registered user: Your user account may be blocked. If you don't know why you have been blocked, please check your talk page. You may find an explanation there. You can also continue to edit your talk page during a block and you can ask questions about the reason for the block; unless you have been explicitly denied this opportunity.
For further questions, please contact the e-mail team of the Dutch Wikipedia. If you are a registered user, please also include a link to your user page.

I'm going to try to post a request here and see if I can get someone's attention on your behalf. Daniel Case (talk) 06:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

IP block length
Hello, I noticed that you blocked this IP here for 24 hours.
However, I would suggest that you elevate that to 31 hours to dissuade further vandalism.
(Take it this way: A 24 hour block would allow them to come back at the very next day, at the exact same time. A 31 hour block would disrupt that cycle, dissuading further vandalism.)
Let me know if you disagree. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 02:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- @3PPYB6: 24 hours is the standard first-time block for a vandal, absent any (for me) aggravating factors like edit warring to restore it or violating BLP (things that are blockable by themselves). I reserve the 31-hour block for vandals known to have come from schools, if blocked near the beginning of their school day, to deter them from getting right back at it the next morning. We seem to have less vandalism clearly attributable to schools than we did 15 years ago—I suspect that's because most of the egregious repeat offender districts can be, and are now, blocked for more than a year at a time (I've put some away for five years). Daniel Case (talk) 02:28, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case — I see now. Thanks for letting me know. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 02:32, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

AIV report
FYI on the report to AIV. This jumping between IPs and named accounts to abuse Wikipedia processes and have others blocked is not a new technique here. Best, CMD (talk) 07:35, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

- It's a good target in that respect because their first block was caused through exactly the same method by another sock. Speaking of this master, could you semi everything here asap please? Thanks, CMD (talk) 07:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Follow up
Hello, you restricted this user KMO2014 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log) for disruptions in past years, and I'm seeing that the pattern has continued. The vandalized past four official warnings on Daydream World Tour and Butterfly World Tour pages. They continue to remove sourced material - an accepted biography source across Carey pages that meets source criteria. Could an editing ban from these pages or across Wiki be imposed on this user again to prevent further disruptions? Ilovetati91 (talk) 05:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Well, I blocked them once, like, 71⁄2 years ago. And looking at the page it seems really like this is not clear-cut vandalism, since of course they're responding. But it is getting disruptive. Had this been reported at AIV, I'd suggest taking it to AN/I at least and seeing what other people there might think. Daniel Case (talk) 06:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

I notice that you often decline reports noting that you've warned the editor, but it's often the case the editor has already received many warnings prior to yours. With the case of User:104.13.12.53, for example, they received this warning 5 times and this warning specifically noting a possible block about 14 times, but still proceeded with attempting to vandalize. Are you assuming that if their talk pages are red they they haven't been warned? Some admins won't block if the talk page is red, which I get, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the warning process that's built into the abuse filter. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ponyo: No, I was not, since of course I've never gotten blocked by the filter myself. I will take that into consideration in the future. (It would be nice if other admins knew that, too ... maybe it's time to make a guide to admins for reviewing those reports. A lot has changed since I first started doing AIV 15 years ago). Daniel Case (talk) 19:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- I only know because someone pointed it out to me, now I'm paying it forward (ha!). It's just another bit of data that can be taken into consideration when evaluating the bot reports.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- BTW, how do we know which of those warnings the user has received from the software? The reports of filter activity include a lot of technical information that isn't really necessary to determine what, if any, action to take, and actually gets in the way of doing so. Maybe they could create a more admin-friendly version. Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- When you view the filter log linked in the AIV report, each trigger of the filter will include "action taken" followed by either "log", "tag", "warn", or "disallow", the outcome of each of the four actions are described at WP:EFBASICS.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:27, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- OK ... thanks! I actually took a look again and saw that. I think blocks purely for triggering the edit filter are a good argument for something we haven't done in routinely in a while: blocks shorter than 24 hours.
- It might also be a good idea to put this info in the edit notice for the bot reports page. Daniel Case (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Every admin has their own threshold for a block. I still give a level 3 or 4 warn if the edits aren't overtly malicious, or if they only tripped the filter a few times. There aren't as many admins acting on the bot reports as the regular ones, perhaps due to their unfamiliarity with the filters. A bit of extra documentation couldn't hurt.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- I started reviewing those reports back in 2007 or so, before there were filters. Daniel Case (talk) 20:54, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Happy birthday!
WP:LTA/TFD
Just wanted to say thanks for handling a lot of my reports about WP:LTA/TFD lately. It's decently frustrating to deal with a vandal who operates on large ranges, but at least two of the ranges they've used in the last month don't seem to have much collateral than their other ones, so perhaps another rangeblock is in order again? I did try and discuss this some months ago with some people but got no response.
These 2 recent ones in particular are used by the vandal quite a bit and don't have too much collateral:
- 101.180.0.0/18 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))
- 120.155.0.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))

Told bot to take report to ANEW
Hey! I noticed that you responded to a bot report at WP:AIV telling the bot to take the report to ANEW. May I ask why you used that template instead of just saying it was a false positive or something else? I'm only asking because, well, it's a bot. It can't take the report to ANEW unless the bot operator temporarily uses the account to do so. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:50, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Indef'd IP
Hey Daniel, I was scrolling through the block list, and I noticed Special:Contributions/47.187.214.158 was indefinitely blocked. Does the IP need that? It appears to only have 2 edits. ThatIPEditor Talk · Contribs 22:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oops. I shouldn't have blocked it indefinitely; I probably meant to give it only 24 hours. Will unblock. Daniel Case (talk) 03:10, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- @ThatIPEditor: I think what had happened was that the IP was reported as a NOTHERE ... Huggle lets users do that, and sometimes when there are a lot of reports at AIV to clear you don't always check to make sure they're not reporting an IP that way. Daniel Case (talk) 03:14, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Two articles about creeks
There's an ongoing project known as WP:URFA/2020 that is looking to re-review all older featured articles (those promoted or last reviewed at WP:FAR from 2015 or before). The oldest block of the list is the 2004-2006 section at WP:URFA/2020A. We're hoping to get all of these reviewed by the end of the year, but there's a couple articles about creeks (Larrys Creek and White Deer Hole Creek) that we're having a bit of trouble getting sorted. I remember your work on Esopus Creek, and was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at those two. I know there's a bit of stuff in each that need updating, but I'm not entirely sure what the comprehensiveness status would be for either.

2001:8003:2438:a600:986c:c6a3:2785:182e
Hey, thanks very much for the block there, but for IPV6 addresses like that, please remember to block the /64. I've undone your block of that single IP ... and, well, this block log speaks for itself. Graham87 16:03, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- It was reported as a single IP. I do block the range when it is suggested, but I do not think we should routinely swing the /64 hammer due to the collateral damage possibility ... I review unblock requests too, and that's where you sometimes see that show up. Daniel Case (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Can you give an example of a valid unblock request where blocking the /64 vs a single IP would have made a difference? I'm curious; I thought that was really really rare (mostly AT&T Mobility addresses which are easy to recognize). FWIW the vast majority of AIV regulars do block the /64 preemptively; modern operating systems change the user's IP frequently, to protect their privacy, so blocking a single IP is pointless. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I think many (most?) admins will block the /64 as it's nearly always a single allocation and the same as blocking a single IPv4 IP. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:19, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Then why don't we just block all IPv6 addresses pre-emptively then? Daniel Case (talk) 22:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Because that would be no different than blocking all IPv4 addresses preemptively. The block is for the individual who is disrupting, and a block of a single IPv6 address is rarely effective, which is why many admins block the /64 which, in the majority of cases, is allocated to that single individual. As with all admin actions, you can choose how you want to use the buttons, but blocking a single IPv6 outside of the instances noted at User:TonyBallioni/Just block the /64 is rarely effective at curbing the disruptive behaviour you're trying to prevent. It's like partial-blocking a vandal one article at a time instead of site wide.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:29, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- OK ... why don't we put that, or a link to it, at the top of AIV? I solemnly swear that I will swing that hammer hard in the future. Daniel Case (talk) 22:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- It's all just advice. It's not so much swinging hard, it's avoiding swinging in vain. Gotta keep that arm in proper mop-wielding form!-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:46, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- We are supposed to decide before even reviewing unblock requests whether they are "valid" or not? Hell of a way to assume good faith. Daniel Case (talk) 22:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps that wasn't the best word. I mean, can you give an example of an unblock request, that you accepted? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:43, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Um, and while we're on the subject, you realize you blocked a /32 not a /64 after this decline? Five years seems excessive, and given how huge a /32 range can be, the user might well have been telling the truth. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- I knocked it down to a year. I couldn't figure out how to block the /64 on that one. And based on the contribs, if that user wants to edit they can create an account. Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- That's better, but why did you escalate the block at all? That range covers a large geographical area of Ohio and Kentucky. It might be hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Charter customers. It's perfectly plausible that that was someone unrelated to the other disruption. Indeed the other two edits from 2603:6010:9002:7E00::/64 look like good-faith edits (though one is unsourced, but at least plausible based on a quick Google search). How did you conclude that

- Interesting. I don't remember that specific instance, but it was not my intention to shorten the block. To be honest, I'm not sure what happened there. I speculate I was trying to match it up with the block on Wiww51 and stop further logged-in editing, and just didn't notice the existing block. Had I been deliberately trying to shorten the block, I'd have checked in with Daniel Case. You are most certainly welcome to reintroduce the block and just frown in my general direction. --Yamla (talk) 21:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey there. I saw that you have blocked Special:Contributions/68.131.33.163 and at least one other IP who have been making disruptive edits on various animation-related articles - looks like they're back, this time at Special:Contributions/71.120.206.83. Same edits as the previous ones. Is there an SPI case or something targeting these, or is this just a whack-a-mole situation with these IPs? Tony Fox (arf!) 02:33, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Short-term, the problem is solved: I blocked them for six months as well. And I may extend the block on the other IP for this.
- Long-term, this is not so much SPI material as ... well, long-term abuse. We should see how persistent he tries to be. Daniel Case (talk) 03:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

The new map includes shading for the catskills and also includes the Schoarie Creek and Esopus Creek compared to the current Adirondack locator map. Just wanted to let u know. Hope all else is well. -420Traveler (talk) 12:42, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

OJ trial
Hi, I was wondering if you’ve considered editing the OJ trial Wikipedia page so it can be less slanted towards the prosecution? I’ve tried to in the past but my edits always ended up getting reverted. Kayjewel (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- I would very much like to but that would require making it my number one thing for a period of weeks, and that spot is, at the moment, taken by several other things.
- Someday ... Daniel Case (talk) 03:54, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
I understand. Hopefully you aren’t met with resistance whenever you embark on that journey. Kayjewel (talk) 07:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- I probably will be, but I've sailed into stiff headwinds before. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
That’s frustrating. Have you read the late F. Lee Bailey’s book about the trial? That would be a good source to update the page. Kayjewel (talk) 05:15, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- My favorite book on the trial (I cited it in the Brett Cantor and Killing of Michael Nigg articles) is A Problem of Evidence by the late Joe Bosco, one of the four writers who had a permanent seat at the trial (and really the only real book to come out of those prime seats, as the late Dominick Dunne only wrote a thinly-veiled novel about the case, Joe McGinniss was so disgusted by the whole thing he returned his advance and didn't write anything about it, and despite all the praise heaped on Jeffrey Toobin's book Bosco notes in passing that he was absent from the trial for long stretches of time because his wife back in Brooklyn had just given birth to their first child.
There are a lot of really interesting tidbits in Bosco's book that suggest there were a lot of deeper things going on that (sometimes) both sides and the media worked very hard to keep out of the courtroom.
Unfortunately I don't know where my copy is—my MIL borrowed it some time ago and she says she returned it but I have not found it in years of searching, and unfortunately it seems to be out of print. Daniel Case (talk) 06:10, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
I’ve read Bosco’s A Problem of Evidence, I agree with you it’s a great book. It’s actually available for free on the website below, you just have to create an account: https://archive.org/details/problemofevidenc00bosc
I also recommend reading Stephen Singular’s book Legacy of Deception: An Investigation of Mark Fuhrman and Racism in the LAPD if you haven’t already.
Kayjewel (talk) 06:16, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's referenced in Briggs and Freed's Killing Time, another book I've used as a source and highly recommend, although it's better on the timeline issues than other aspects of the case. Daniel Case (talk) 06:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
I became obsessed with the OJ case years ago so I read a bunch of books about it including Killing Time too, which I thought was well done and fascinating. Legacy of Deception explains how and why Simpson was framed. Court TV’s OJ25 is the most objective and truthful docuseries about the trial, but it’s only available to watch on YouTube. If you’re looking to rewatch the trial I would recommend it as well. Kayjewel (talk) 06:24, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
What is etymology?
Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom. That wiki gives a definition of etymology, followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here), almost all of them being similar to these three:
- Etymology of absolute zero: Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
- Etymology of fire: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
- Etymology of Shiva: Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]
Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project and Wikipedia Etymology Task Force, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- All three of these are definitions, not etymologies. Daniel Case (talk) 17:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

---|---|
The LuEsther T. Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Garden and the Environment of New York City Task Force invite the general public of all experience levels to come to the Mertz Library in person and learn how to use Wikipedia! All skill levels welcome at the event! Experienced Wikipedia editors from the Wikimedia New York City chapter will be in attendance and available to help. A one hour training session will be offered at the start of this event covering introductory topics. Attendees familiar with editing Wikipedia can edit off of a worklist focused on the environment of New York City; as well as, a sub-list focused on the environment of the Bronx. The Mertz Library will pull topical media from their collection to assist the editing. --Wikimedia New York City Team via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:04, 1 June 2022 (UTC) (You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by adding or removing your name from this list.) |

Hello. About your judgment on Peter Obi
Hello and I hope this message meets you well. I saw your judgement on the edit warring complaint on the article Peter Obi. And although I thank you for your effort, I am displeased with the outcome. So just take this as an appeal and here is why
This here is the link to the Wikipedia article about achieving concensus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus
The last paragraph under the subtopic Through Editing says: "Be bold, but not rash. Whether changes come through editing or through discussion, the encyclopedia is best improved through collaboration and consensus, not through combat and capitulation. Repeated reversions are contrary to Wikipedia policy under edit warring, except for specific policy-based material [such as BLP exceptions] and for reversions of vandalism. This is true even if editors are using edit summaries to "discuss" the dispute every time they revert."
- The exceptions here for BLP are in cases of vandalism or added content without citations, none of which I'm culpable for. Clearly the user violated the 3R rule. You said in your judgement that the edit warring stopped two days ago and that's true. But it only stopped because I, the complainant, chose not to tow the path of edit warring and 3R violation, following Wikipedia rules. The other editor clearly violated that rule
Again in the same concensus article, under the subtopic Through Discussion whic says: "....Keep in mind, however, that administrators are primarily concerned with policy and editor behavior and will not decide content issues authoritatively. They may block editors for behaviors that interfere with the consensus process (such as edit-warring, abuse of multiple accounts, or a lack of civility)."
- He keeps talking about the content of the article, which though important, isn't the primary basis on which Wikipedia administrators make judgement for conflicts. Rather judgement is drawn from violating Wikipedia policy which he did by violating the 3R rule and removing cited content as regards BPL violations.
Please do the needful. It's a bad precedence for a person to get away with a clear violation because me, I intentionally chose to do things the right way and the other person who did things the wrong way is the one getting rewarded. He/She has to face the music for violating the 3R rule before we talk about consensus, that's justice.

Dortana
Can you please take a look at the editor Dortana's latest edits? Their behavior is simply disruptive and has been so for a very long time now. At the moment they keep removing well-sourced information and then complaints about edit warring[1]. Semsûrî (talk) 21:34, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- The editor has also received a total of six warnings on the talkpage in less than one month by me. Semsûrî (talk) 21:57, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Request
Hello Daniel Case. I found your name on the edit-warring noticeboard as some who is both and admin, and and currently active, and most importantly not involved with me previously. Can I simply ask that you "revsion-delete" the comment I made here which violated CIVIL policies. Apart from it being somewhat "on the spur of the heated moment", what I said no longer applies anyhow since the user with whom I had the dispute and I have both retracted previous actions toward one another and are now moving on without mutual hostility. Thanks. --Sportspop (talk) 08:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have no doubt you do not want to hear from me, but that edit is not rev-deletable.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:50, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Dentren @ WP:AN3
Hi there Daniel. Thanks for taking action. Just wanted to ask you to restore the previous versions of Gabriel Boric and El Líbero before Dentren's intervention. Please also note that Dentren has reiterated, now that they've been blocked, his false claim that I am the "sockpuppet of a banned user" [2] Thanks in advance! --Bedivere (talk) 19:08, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
