Please restart the tool
Outstanding linter errors on dewiki As of 2022-06-02 11:15:25 it does not actualise since yesterday. --Lómelinde (talk) 04:50, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Lómelinde acknowledged - will try to take a look today :) firefly ( t · c ) 10:55, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Bot jobs and tools fixed
Just making a general post here rather than replying to each message individually - thanks for the pings, everything is back up now (FireflyBot's G13 nudges/DRN clerking etc, and the Linter Counts tool).
Pinging Robert McClenon, Lómelinde, Jonesey95, Liz - hopefully that's everyone :) firefly ( t · c ) 10:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot everything is fine again. --Lómelinde (talk) 10:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- https://fireflytools.toolforge.org/linter/enwiki appears to be updating the time stamp, but not the counts. This has been happening for at least a few hours. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:11, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Block request
Hi Firefly, Could you please pblock Asartea (test)? Doesn't matter from what, just that its a pblock (trying to confirm whether something is fixed in the app) -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 14:59, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Self-refs
I have reversed your self-ref removal. You are free to dislike them, but self-refs on dabs are not necessarily shunned upon. Thank you. --NotReallySoroka (talk) 00:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have also restored it at Bureaucrat (not a dab page). Thanks again. NotReallySoroka (talk) 03:31, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Involved Parties?
Hi, I noted that this page, the last page before it was closed off, has three "Involved parties", yet the case opened names four parties with the addition of 7+6. How did that come about? HighKing++ 17:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- @HighKing Hi! The Arbitrators asked for 7&6 to be added as a party to the case in their instructions to the clerks. firefly ( t · c ) 17:15, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
June 2022
Hi, Theoder2055 here. I am taking a break from editing so I may not edit the page Draft:Avan Ivan (Soundtrack). If you want you can nominate it for deletion. I think so soundtrack article is not necessary for this page Draft:Avan Ivan (Soundtrack) as everything is mentioned in the film’s page Avan Ivan#Soundtrack. I feel it’s better to go for deletion. Theoder2055 (talk) 10:52, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Theoder2055 If you want, you can tag it for deletion under CSD G7, or just leave it be and it'll be deleted under G13 in time. Thanks! firefly ( t · c ) 11:38, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Firefly promoted to full clerk
The Arbitration Committee is pleased to announce that Firefly (talk · contribs) has been appointed a full clerk, effective immediately, concluding his successful traineeship.
The arbitration clerk team is often in need of new members, and any editor who meets the expectations for appointment and would like to join the clerk team is welcome to apply by e-mail to clerks-llists.wikimedia.org.
For the Arbitration Committee, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 16:42, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Solving an issue

You recently asked that is it my second account, so yes it is. And I am not hiding it like sock puppetry!
I read policy of sock puppetry on Wikipedia and carefully following it.
I will give you every info. Just ask me.😊😊 LängeBreitoben (talk) 18:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have looked a little closer at your contributions, LängeBreitoben, and am rather troubled by what I see. You appear to have made a series of inconsequential edits in order to reach autoconfirmed status - my suspicions here are strengthened by the fact that immediately after you did this you requested manual confirmation. As soon as you were confirmed you moved a draft created by what appears to be a single-purpose account (GroßartigGehirn) to mainspace. Is GroßartigGehirn your other account? Are you being paid for any contributions to Wikipedia, or directed to edit by an employer? firefly ( t · c ) 18:22, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes both accounts are mine. As I said I read policy of sock puppetry.
Did I do something wrong to reach autoconfirmed rights? I don't think it harmed anyone on Wikipedia. And you are targeting me instead of someone else.
If you disagree with me, well, you are admin, just block me immediately for indefinitely. LängeBreitoben (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello User:LängeBreitoben. I don't see any valid reason for you to be operating two accounts. I suggest you abandon one of the two accounts, and allow admins to block it. EdJohnston (talk) 18:55, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. Why not.
- How can I delete my one account? Any process for it? Send me link please. LängeBreitoben (talk) 19:00, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Deleting accounts is not done here on Wikipedia, but if you allow the account to be blocked it will have a similar effect. If you agree to such a block, let me know and I will do it. I will mark it as a 'user requested block'. EdJohnston (talk) 19:05, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

So...
How precisely does this action of yours benefit the encyclopedia? Let me express my concern another way: how does that action not enable, and perhaps tacitly approve, the highly disruptive behaviors of a problematic editor? JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:13, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- @JoJo Anthrax - the decision to decline (or accept) a request for Arbitration rests solely with the Arbitration Committee. Clerks such as myself only handle the "paperwork". The case had met the threshold for being declined and removed, and such action had been authorised by the Arbitrators. If you disagree with their decision or have questions for them I would suggest posting at WT:AC. Thanks, firefly ( t · c ) 15:18, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- To add, the declining of the case does not preclude other actions being taken elsewhere if uninvolved administrators or the community feel they are warranted. firefly ( t · c ) 15:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- @JoJo Anthrax, Firefly doesn't really get a say in what happens to the cases - that falls on the committee, including myself. It's important that the case requests remain as the "final" step in dispute resolution, so that there is a final step in dispute resolution. We have place for the buck to stop. That doesn't mean that behaviour is approved of - but that it should be handled elsewhere. I did see that you were advocating for an indefinite block and it may be that something like that happens - but only once someone who is uninvolved in the case sees the threshold for it being met. We're the last port of call, and just because it was brought before us early doesn't mean that we stop being that last port of call. WormTT(talk) 15:23, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, both Firefly and Worm That Turned, for your responses. I do understand your positions. Yet, at the risk of repeating myself, I trust you can understand why an uninvolved editor like me would interpret the closure of the case request as a robotic action that enables continued, needless disruption, with much of that disruption taking the form of egregious personal attacks against long-term, valuable editors. In addition to that action, and although it might be technically unrelated, that no administrator took any meaningful action to prevent this obvious disruption from continuing leaves me disappointed and, frankly, worried. That said, please accept my appreciation for your good-faith efforts on behalf of the encyclopedia. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 16:04, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
