please delete an unneeded uncontroversial page created in error

I created User:Applicable_law in error, because I forgot to change the namespace menu during a move from userspace when it was intended to go to mainspace. I saw the instruction on marking it for deletion but when I followed the link for that step instead it opened a page for creating the page. I'm not an admin. Could you please delete the User:Applicable_law page?

Thank you.

Mathsci is abusing the thanking feature to spam my notifications

Resolved.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=thanks&user=Mathsci

Mathsci is thanking random posts of mine, and spamming my notifications. Mathsci and I haven't been on good terms for the last couple of months. He's has refused to offer an explanation for his behavior. As far as I'm concerned, Mathsci is behaving abusively towards someone he dislikes. He's likely doing this to annoy me. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Mathsci thanked me again, despite knowing full well how I feel about it. This is pure passive-aggression (i.e. refusing to communicate whatever problem he has with me to my face while conducting subtle actions to frustrate me), and it ought to end. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 14:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(ec) I have used the "thank" button to acknowledge 4 edits to my user talk page and 2 edits elsewhere where Michaeldsuarez discussed an edit rev-delled by Avraham. I resumed editing on the wikimedia projects on 10 April and sent a Meta email to Michaeldsuarez on 24 April clarifying that the administrator MastCell had been misidentified off-wiki (I know his RL name). It was a good faith email. Its contents were posted here by Michaeldsuarez (without my permission) and rev-delled by Avraham at my request. As far as I am aware I have had no dealings with Michaeldsuarez on any of the wikimedia projects; as I mentioned to Avraham in private, Michaeldsuarez has been helpful to me in the past offwiki. I also sent him an off-wiki email concerning the en.wikipedia unbanning process less than a month ago, thinking it might be helpful to him and others.
It is fairly straightforward to disable the notification tab in the Meta preferences dashboard. Click on Preferences, then click on Notifications and then untick Thanks in the column Web. Hope this helps. Mathsci (talk) 16:04, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Blanking my messages is ackowledgement enough. I use my watchlist. Using the thanking feature in this manner is awkward. In addition, I would prefer it if you actually spoke to me instead of merely "acknowledging" my existenece. Communication is key on a collaborative project, and using the thanking feature in this manner isn't clear communication. I would like you to speak with me as a part of a dialogue.
I've checked my old Email account, and I've never received any advice on appealing bans from you.
I don't have any interest in disabling notifications. I like being aware of when people appreciate my actions. This is what the thanking feature is for, yet you were using it for something else. I'm not going to change my preferences to accommodate one person's odd use of the thanking feature; instead, you should use the feature in the manner it was meant to be used. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 22:19, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
 I sent you a message from my usual email address on 14 April after you had speculated off-wiki about why I had contacted User:Mjroots. Off-wiki you suggested that he was some form of meatpuppet. You also speculated about why my appeal to arbcom might have been delayed. I forwarded you a copy of an email to Mjroots about a missed rev-dell on he.wikipedia.org: it did not concern en.wikipedia.org. In the email I also mentioned details of my unban appeal, including reasons why there had been delays. The email was sent to the same address you had used for contacting me a long while back: it was ******of***** at yahoo.com. Please check that email account. Anyway, here is what I wrote to you (I have corrected the spelling of Hartwig):

click to show email

Sockpuppetry? Meatpuppetry? No this was about Werther Hartwig's naming of casualties in the Bad Aibling rail accident over a whole series of wikis. In this case Mjroots had missed one wiki that appeared in the global contributions list.

Incidentally the vote to lift the ban was fairly rapid - twice delays were caused because of not using arbcom-l. My submission centred on two WP emails sent to [redacted-1] in 2013 following a suggestion of Roger Davies. Links to off-wiki sites with non-public information posted or supplied by [redacted-2] were given before the formal request.

Forwarded Message

From: "Mathsci" [redacted]

To: "Mathsci" [redacted]

Sent: Sunday, 14 February, 2016 7:34:30 PM

Subject: Copy of your message to Mjroots: list of casualties on he.wikipedia.org

https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%97%D7%94:%D7%AA%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%AA_%D7%94%D7%A8%D7%9B%D7%91%D7%AA_%D7%91%D7%91%D7%90%D7%93_%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%91%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%92&diff=prev&oldid=18127634

I hope that clarifies matters for you. Mathsci (talk) 00:39, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it does. I see that I do have that Email, although I don't use that Email address any longer. I've just added your corrections to the Wikipediocracy thread, since I believe that that is probably what you meant by the Email "be[ing] helpful to him [me] and others." --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
You surprise me :) OTOH, what you just wrote off-wiki is accurate. Mathsci (talk) 03:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Mathsci hasn't sent any more thanks notifications since the original post, so I guess this is resolved now? Ajraddatz (talk) 01:40, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Actually, he has sent me one thanks since the original post:
But yes, this is more or less resolved. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
No, all those diffs have already been mentioned in your first two postings and discussed by me above (4 acknowledgements on my talk page and 2 on [redacted-3]'s talk page). Yesterday I thanked User:Ajraddatz, see the thanks log. I was grateful that he suggested closing this report. Mathsci (talk) 14:31, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
"Original post" refers to my first post. My second post was a follow-up, made over an hour later, but like I've said, this matter is pretty much closed. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 23:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks both. Ajraddatz (talk) 23:21, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Add Outreach Wiki to list on Special:Import

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T134788 resolved

When I visit Special:Import, there are only a few wikis listed as options, from which to import pages. Can outreach.wikimedia.org be added to that list? -Pete F (talk) 16:37, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, provided there is consensus for this. I would not object to it being added. --Vogone (talk) 16:40, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
I have no concerns with such an addition. I think a task needs to be opened on Phabricator to add it. Ajraddatz (talk) 16:41, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
I support the idea. Yes I think we need to request it at phab:.--Syum90 (talk) 16:53, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
No objection, uncontroversial. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Happy to start a Phabricator ticket. I thought perhaps it was a task an admin or bureaucrat could easily perform locally. How much consensus do you guys think is needed? What I would like to do right now is, I think, uncontroversial: I'd like to move outreach:Assessment of Belfer Center Wikipedian in Residence program from Outreach Wiki to Meta Wiki. I proposed the move more than two months ago; there have been no objections. But there are other pages that should arguably be moved from Meta Wiki than Outreach Wiki. Each should be considered on its own merits, but it would be good to remove this technical hurdle if possible. Somewhat related is the 2012 discussion around Eloquence's proposal, Wikimedia.org, which proposed merging these (and other) wikis entirely. -Pete F (talk) 17:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Merging the two wikis is definitely a bad idea and to that there is an opposition in Outreach community. Importing some pages with good rationale I suppose is ok, as long as it is not abused. --Base (talk) 22:05, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
It is very uncontroversial, but it should be clear there is no opposition to this from the community. I suppose just leaving this here open for 2-3 days would suffice as "consensus". --Vogone (talk) 17:06, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

OK, thank you all. I have created this ticket: phab:T134788 and referenced this discussion for consensus. Any help making sure I used the appropriate project tags etc. would be appreciated. -Pete F (talk) 17:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Still showing up misspelled for me. I've purged my cache. Shouldn't that fix it? --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Actually, strike that, there was some kind of delay but now the change is displaying. But the hyphen is still wrong. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:21, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
It should say: 'Join our contest, "Translating Ibero-America", an editing contest around Ibero-American culture!' Jonesey95 (talk) 03:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Yes – otherwise the "T" in "Translating" should not be captialized. IJBall (talk) 05:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
It should be okay now. Please let me know if something else should be changed. Thanks. Matiia (talk) 01:36, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Acción de un Global sysop en Nah.wikipedia

Extended content

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a Global sysop or Steward that can attend this case, needed speak spanish because all disscusion is in spanish. Thanks. (Maybe Syum90 can help us)

Offender: nah:user:Marrovi

Proyect: Nah:wikipedia (few sysops; actually just me)

Presento dos denuncias juntas para que quede todo reunido el caso Marrovi:

1.-Calumnia y agresiones en mi contra.

Después de un proceso desgastante de revisiones y correcciones en Mantenimiento artículos de Marrovi debido a esta resolución donde ha quedado demostrado y confirmado por las actitudes del mismo usuario Marrovi que mi primer comentario CONSENSO PARA EL BORRADO DE DATOS era acertado, donde se describió su manera de proceder y trabajar en el pasado y que lo ha repetido todo durante ese proceso de mantenimiento que aún continúa. Es decir, si así fue en el pasado y continúa siendo ahora, en el futuro no podemos esperar que cambie. Él mismo ha continuado y traído la discusión a la nah.wikipedia, le pedí amablemente que tachara sus cometarios agresivos en contra de mí, lo cual se niega hacer.

Las agresiones y acusaciones en mi contra se dieron desde Consulta de borrado por argumentación:Comarca de Teotlalpan, donde se puede ver tanto mi actuación como la de él. Ahí claramente se ve que en lugar de argumentar por qué debía permanecer el artículo, busco rescatarlo con trucos y comenzó con intrigas diciendo “por donde vienen los ataques… porque a un usuario le guste o no su contenido“. Durante la misma consulta también señaló esto “el acusante parece ser que solo se ha encaprichado en borrar el artículo… tal vez estoy mal pero veo muy negativa su actitud… Esto es lo que en posgrado conocemos como guerra sucia“, además en la página de discusión del usuario Strakhov [1] me acusaba de conspirar con el usuario Lin linao, lo que también hizo en la consulta de borrado.

Ante tales calumnias yo le pedí moderación aquí, lo que él tomó como una amenaza, y lo ha difundido así tomando la postura de víctima.

Después de la decisión del borrado de Comarca de Teotlalpan y demostrarse un mal uso y entendimiento de este término, procedí a corregir otras páginas borrando los enlaces (ya innecesarios) que redirigían a esa página. Usuario Marrovi entonces me reporta ante el bibliotecario Taichi acusándome de “borrar información a mi antojo”, nuevamente esto es una calumnia de su parte contra mí.

Lo anterior me llevó a establecer el precedente y desenmascarar a Marrovi, CONSENSO DEL BORRADO DE DATOS lo que algunos vieron como un foreo era, y es en realidad un marco referencial, donde queda establecido que se puede esperar de él, y como arriba lo digo, él sigue demostrando y confirmando todo lo dicho ahí. En la lectura cuidadosa de mi comentario cualquiera podrá ver que no expreso ni odio ni resentimiento como trata de achacármelo Marrovi, muy por el contrario, él si muestra resentimiento y coraje contra mí en sus comentarios aquí me llama chismoso, aquí dice: lo él no es capaz de dar respeto, y todavía lo exije como si tiviera una larga cola que le pisen y ahora lo hace haciendo uso de su poder. y aquí dice: Eso para mí me llenó de coraje y rabia. Ante tales ofensas ya procedía una denuncia, sin embargo, decido hablar con él para pedirle que se enfoque en corregir sus contribuciones y (a pesar de su insistencia en acusarme) le digo que no tengo interés en denunciarlo, lo cual cumplo en ese momento.

Después de la intervención de varios bibliotecarios para encauzarlo, comienza a despotricar haciendo acusaciones de conspiración en su contra, hablando de circo y teatro y uso de influencias (nuevas calumnias). Ante la exigencia al apego de las normas de etiqueta tacha algunos comentarios insolentes, únicamente los de las personas con cargo que lo amenazaron con denunciarlo en el tablón, en mi caso, nunca dejo de señalarme como el que dirige “una campaña en su contra”: “los argumentos de ataque que realizó un usuario en muchos artículos que edité, este tipo se llenó de odio hacia mi persona, buscó todo lo posible en Wikipedia para hacer leña de árbol y promover el desprestigio”.

Por la naturaleza del trabajo de mantenimiento, es necesario señalar los errores, cosa que no le agrada en lo personal a Marrovi, este proceso él lo considera como “hacer leña del árbol caído”, él siente que quienes intervenimos lo hacemos con “saña, con burla, con la intención de desprestigiarlo”. En su desesperación se ha enfocado en arrastrarme trayendo la discusión a la nah.wikipedia e intentando provocarme, continuando con señalamientos y acusaciones, lo cual ya no voy a seguir aguantando.

El usuario Marrovi también argumenta contra mí que “ataco a su familia”. Aquí el asunto es que como también se comprobó en el proceso de revisión de sus contribuciones, Marrovi usó la Wikipedia para [promocionarse], como obvia consecuencia, era necesario mencionar aspectos acerca de la persona (no del wikipedista) y corregir la interpretación que él mismo hacia de sus antepasados, que de hecho sigue insistiendo hasta el momento, afirmando que tiene una relevante influencia sefardí (judía) en su región natal y en su familia, aspectos como costumbres, el habla, la gastronomía, cuando en realidad es resultado del mestizaje cultural.

Solicito que detengan al usuario Marrovi en su carrera de calumnias en mi contra, que deje de acusarme por un proceso que es resultado de su propio proceder y cuyas consecuencias tiene que enfrentar. Siento que a estas alturas es necesaria ya una disculpa de su parte. A la vez debe tachar los comentarios que puso en su página de usuario.

2.- Abuso de los recursos de Wikimedia y manipulación de las reglas de wikipedia.

Queda comprobado por las wikis en español, alemán, italiano, catalán y portugués que Marrovi las ha utilizado para auto-promocionarse, a la vez que ha roto las reglas en un par de ellas quedando bloqueada su actividad indefinidamente. La situación con la nah.wikipedia no es muy diferente.

Tres acciones que merecen sanción:

2.1.- Borrado intencional de páginas de discusión para ocultar información, acciones que deben ser revertidas pues afecta la secuencia de las mismas. Ya en la es.wikipedia lo había hecho y se le explicó que esas acciones no eran permitidas y en caso de continuar sería sancionado. Aún mantiene borrado parte de su página de discusión (año 2013) como puede verse aquí.

2.2.- Manipulación de votaciones. Lo mismo hizo en es.wikipedia (29-SEPT-2012) y al comprobarse que utilizó “títeres” para favorecer su decisión, fue bloqueado. En nah.wikipedia quiso cambiar el sistema de escritura establecido por consenso en 2007 (en el cual participó y acepto a regañadientes) esperó pacientemente a no tener oposición para imponer su “ideal de escritura”; a falta de participantes en wikipedia recurrió a la red social Facebook donde lo puso a votación, es decir, que las redes sociales decidan las políticas de wikipedia. Esto no fue más que un engaño pues las personas del Facebook no son especialistas del tema, son gente ordinaria y ninguno de ellos en realidad colabora en la nah.wikipedia. Sin embargo, consiguió otras dos personas que votaran, ahora sí en nah.wikipedia, para establecer su opinión, teniendo un voto en contra. Él dice que esto fue democrático… ¿una votación de cuatro personas para un portal que tiene más de cien miembros? ¿cuál es la decisión de esa mayoría? ¿por qué no votaron? Lo más decepcionante de esta situación es que la resolución ni siquiera la están ejecutando, la estandarización ortográfica que pretendían no se ve por ningún lado, nadie la está realizando, claramente se ven tres sistemas de escritura diferente.

3.2.- Acusaciones, calumnias y agresiones cross-wiki.

A pesar de estar bloqueado en es.wikipedia y nah.wikipedia, ha utilizado espacios de discusión de otros usuarios en varios proyectos para difamar a quienes intervinieron en la corrección de sus errores: En en.wikipedia página de usuario Maunus; en.wikipedia página de usuario Salvador alc; en wikimedia las acusaciones son más fuertes en la página de usuario Marco Aurelio; aún peor todo lo que ha dicho a manera de catarsis en la página de discusión de usuario Nobita.

Esto es sólo un ejemplo de toda una serie de irregularidades en la nah.wikipedia, donde todos pueden escribir lo que quieran y como quieran; no hay revisiones ni coordinación. Este portal necesita urgentemente una auditoria pues da al mundo una imagen mala de Wikimedia; ¿wikimedia sirve de instrumento para un solo usuario (Marrovi)? ¿cómo es que Wikimedia permite que exista una wikipedia tan manipulable?

Acaba de salir de su bloqueo y ya está queriendo modificar las reglas de Wikipedia, ahora los sysops serán elegidos por los usuarios y los mismos usuarios JUZGARAN el desempeño de los sysops y en caso de "no aprobar" la evaluación (propuesta por Marrovi) serán RETIRADOS de su cargo. Esto es sólo un ejemplo de la "democracia" que quiere imponer.

Mi solicitud es que un Global sysop o Steward revise este caso y si coincide con mi visión, ejercer un bloqueo permanente al usuario Marrovi.

Saludos. --Akapochtli (talk) 00:35, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Hola. Primero que todo, esta página es solo para solicitudes para los administradores locales de metawiki, para solicitudes hacia los GS o los Stewards, está SRM. En segundo lugar, esto no está dentro de las tareas de los GS o Stewards, por lo que ellos no pueden tomar alguna acción al respecto. Sugeriría contactar uno de los otros admin de nahwiki que no tenga relación con este tema, para tomar una decisión, o abrir un hilo en una de las locales village pump (o un RFC aquí en metawiki), y una vez haya un consenso, se tome la acción apropiada (por un admin que no esté involucrado en esto). Matiia (talk) 02:17, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Muchas gracias Matiia. Voy a RFC. Saludos.--Akapochtli (talk) 02:37, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Hola, coincido plenamente con Matiia; por otra parte te recomiendo que informes sobre la apertura de la RFC en los cafés de es.wp y de nah.wp para obtener la máxima participación.--Syum90 (talk) 08:15, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

There is an Arabic version for the login page . But the Arabic language is not listed in the default login page.

MassMessage for Jayen466

As an editor of the Signpost, Jayen466 needs the massmessage right to send out global deliveries of the Signpost when the bot is down (like this week—I have sent this week's message at his request, using my legacy access, but Jayen should have the right going forward). Thank you! Ed [talk] [en] 21:14, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Done - no issues with this request. @Jayen466: you are already experienced with these permissions, but if you need any help using it please do post here :-) Ajraddatz (talk) 21:23, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Many thanks to you both, Ed and Ajraddatz. Andreas JN466 21:41, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
