User talk:Daniel Case

Notice: I am traveling to or from or attending Wikimania 2024 in Katowice, and subsequently touring Poland, from 8/3/2024 to 8/17/2024, so I am not only on hours different from those I am usually online, I will not always be able to respond as swiftly to requests for administrative action as I usually try to be. If you by chance are also in Katowice, please feel free to seek me out in person and bring the issue to my attention.

Also, I will likely be on odd hours for a few days after the period delineated above, as I get readjusted to North American Eastern Daylight Time. Hi, welcome to the 25th volume of my talk page.

It's been a year since Sweden was EC protected. The UK has experienced the same thing which has since dropped to autoconfirmed protection. Since Sweden has less 1/6th of the population than the UK, is it time to drop the protection to semi? WP:TRYUNPROT JuniperChill (talk) 15:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's EC, I think you should make this a formal request at WP:RPPD and see if there's a consensus of admins. Daniel Case (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anwar Ali page needs much longer protection/ip bans, mbsg page needs vandalism bans... Cenderabird (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am seeking to nominate File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3 and others at FFD, and have created a nomination just now at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 July 24#File:Neal Gladstone Radio Show 02.mp3.

I am perplexed to find on the file page for the initial show on the nomination a large and highly relevant notice signed by you instead of the nomination I expected. I have no idea how to proceed to place the notice on all the other files as I assume I must do, and woudl appreciate your help. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't edited that file page. Sure you're messaging the right person? Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am kind of sure. Would you mind having a look at "my" file page and see if I am going nuts? I may have done something wrong! I don't usually hang out at FFD 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not worry. I will try the HelpDesk 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 19:36, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see the nomination I made at the top of the FfD page? Daniel Case (talk) 20:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind upping your protection to EC? One editor is already over AC and the other is only a couple edits away. S0091 (talk) 21:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done When I looked at the recent disruption none of the non-blocked editors were at AC. Daniel Case (talk) 21:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Hopefully that will force discussion or dispute resolution, if needed. S0091 (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, since you have worked with GAs, I would like to make a question. I recently recreated Hasan Zyko Kamberi after its deletion for copyright issues. There isn't much info available on the subject, as he is merely known as the author of a few short poems. After a few small content additions and copyediting, the length of the article will be around 5k-6k bytes. Can such an article become a GA, or is the very short length an issue in such cases? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that's really all we can say about him, maybe it can be. (Consider that New York State Route 311 is an FA despite being only 18K). Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I will also add a small background for his literary genre and a few verses from his poems (though most of them remain unpublished in the archives), so maybe it somehow reaches 8k. haha Thank you for your response. Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your article protection. The rambling is continuing over at Talk:Sini Shetty. I have asked the IP user to follow the appeal process as stated at Wikipedia:Contentious topics, and not on the talk page, but this hasn't worked. Sciencefish (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have basically asked them for the receipts. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, this user has not made any constructive changes despite warnings. Their work is all but edit warring and additions that violate MOS:FILMAUDIENCE and/or WP:V. ภץאคгöร 16:47, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I explained in more detail on the article talk page (They may not be aware of what you wrote in your edit summaries). Let's see what happens. Daniel Case (talk) 03:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but they are still not aware, or at least they act like they are not aware. ภץאคгöร 17:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I posted again to answer their question about why their edit was removed. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think it's time to try lowering protection. Vandalism/unhelpful edit was at a maintainable degree, and the plot and episode count needs frequent updates from editors who watched the series. I suggest reducing down to pending changes or semi-protection. The hype has largely died down so I expect less disruption. Ca ^{talk to me!} 13:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reduced it to semi. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting CTOPS (India/Pakistan-related) protection for Prasada, which has experienced frequent WP:OR-based disruptive editing. Also user Muddragon has started engaging in an edit war over their WP:OR edits. Thank you. Ram1751 (talk) 20:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel. I've read the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations brief. I'm not sure if that is even the right page for my suspicion. All I have a is a mild suspicion. Three users all agreement on a subject within a few days; one an IP, one a brand new redlink. Do IPs get checked/scanned regularly for multiple users sort of thing? I'm not even too sure how to phrase it.Halbared (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What page are you referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Reform_UK#Political_position_of_Reform_UK.Halbared (talk) 08:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. One of them does look sort of interesting given that it made two edits to that page on the day it was created, and only there ... not something most new users do. The other redlink has less than a hundred edits but it's been around for four years.

No, IPs are not checkusered routinely like that (blocking them as open proxies is a different matter, though) ... we have to have some suspicion of misuse. Daniel Case (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate you locking the page yet again, but I do wonder if the duration can't be extended this time? Like, this has been going on for a solid year now, so I'm not convinced it's going to stop any time soon (if ever), and I hate having to keep bothering you to do it again every time. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Next time I'll be going longer ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Daniel,

I humbly request the Wikipedia:Autopatrolled right to be able to reduce the workload of other editors as I have created numerous articles which you can comfirm independently aside from the list on my User page. Most of my articles are based on current events and always needed urgent patrol to be indexed and be public to readers. I will create new articles in the future which makes having this right paramount. My latest article created is End Bad Governance protests.

I am optimistic and look forward to your favorable reply. Thanks. Wår (talk) 09:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's supposed to be handled at WP:PERM. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
