Instructions

Please feel free to report incidents, a complaint about an administrator, or anything you want administrators to be aware of.

Please be aware that these pages aren't the place to bring disputes over content or requests for a mediation between another editor and you — we aren't referees. You are better to talk with that editor by mail or on talk, or ask other editors their opinion on Village pump.

The chief purpose of this page is to allow admins to ask each other for help and/or information, to communicate ideas, and for admin talk to happen.

However, any user of Wikiquote may post here. Admins are not a club of elites, but normal editors with some additional technical abilities. Anyone is free to use it to talk to admins as a group. Please feel free to leave a message.

If you do, please sign and date all contributions, using the Wikiquote special form "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automatically.

To request special assistance from an administrator, like deletion, use appropriate pages or tags.

To request assistance from a specific administrator, see [[User talk:Whoever]].

If there is another page which is a more natural location for the discussion of a particular point, please start the discussion there, and only put a short note of the issue, and a link to the relevant location, on this page. Put another way, to the extent possible, discussions are better off held somewhere else, and announced here. This will avoid spreading discussion of one topic over several pages (thereby making them harder to follow), and also reduce the rate of changes to this page.

Request

Please delete my userpage and talk page. It would be nice if you could also protect them. I've been the subject of some LTA and they keep harrasing me through my userpages. Cheers --Synoman Barris (talk) 22:22, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And [1] should also be deleted --Synoman Barris (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adds false block templates to user/user talk pages. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 05:09, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looney Tunes: Back in Action

@Kalki:
@Ningauble:
@GreenMeansGo:
@Miszatomic:

Requesting long-term semi-protection of both the article and its talk page, due to persistent vandalism. DawgDeputy (talk) 14:47, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE-- The main page is semi-protected, but the same protection should also apply to the talk page. DawgDeputy (talk) 14:07, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Total Drama Action talk page vandalism

@Kalki:
@Ningauble:
@GreenMeansGo:
@Miszatomic:

One IP vandal refuses to admit what the IP vandal did was dead wrong. Requesting indefinite protection of the talk page and all Total Drama articles and talk pages to prevent this vandal from ever returning, and indefinite blocking for the vandal, as well. DawgDeputy (talk) 21:57, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked one persistently used IP for 3 months, and semi-protected the talk page for 3 months. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 22:56, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wonderful. If this continues, however, I request the next block and semi-protection timeframe be more than twice as long. DawgDeputy (talk) 22:58, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DawgDeputy, May I ask a silly question? Why are there so many vandalism reports on this page? Why not post on Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress? Just curious. Ottawahitech (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Candidates for speedy deletion

Does anyone patrol this category as a matter of course, please? It does not have the appearance of either being speedy or leading to deletion at present. Timtrent (talk) 10:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent, Just curious what prompted your question. Do any of the 6 pages currently listed for a speedy pose a serious problem? On the other hand I see that the article Yoshihide Suga about a prime minister of Japan is listed for deletion at Category:Votes for deletion with no one chiming in to the discussion. Could be because it is holiday season? Ottawahitech (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ottawahitech quite some time ago I had nominated Hamis Kiggundu in this permalink. I have no idea whether or not the nomination was valid. It was declined by an IP editor earlier today. The thing is, there appeared to be nothing actually 'speedy' about the process in the sense I am used to from Commons and en WP.
I also have no clear concept of deletion processes and procedures here, and will welcome advice either here or on my talk page Timtrent (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah.. now I understand. As far as things around here being slower than enwiki and commons, is it also not slower at other small wmf-wikis such as wikibooks, wikiversity, wikisource, wikinews, etc? I see that some admins here are very busy looking after things that are important for this community.
I am not familiar with deletion processes and procedures at WQ, but I know that many contributors are busy building content rather than undoing other people's work and have little interest in this area. I think I recognize your name from enwiki as a long-term patroller (I think?) and would be interested in your ideas for improvements at WQ. Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent forgot to ping Ottawahitech (talk) 23:02, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ottawahitech I've been around on en WP a while. I recognise your name also. I think the major improvement would be to implement Twinkle for routine admin tasks to help newbies here with experience elsewhere navigate WQ Timtrent (talk) 23:06, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have created Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Hamis Kiggundu on the basis that the speedy deletion was challenged. I will learn something, I expect. Thanks for giving me the prompt to do this @Ottawahitech, even if you did not suggest it directly. Timtrent (talk) 23:19, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am sure WQ could use help. Thanks for stepping up. Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 23:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

美好的时光好孩子 (talk · contributions)

Please consider blocking 美好的时光好孩子 (talk • contribs • global edits • page moves • block user • block log). His edits are limited to POV pushing. ~ DanielTom (talk) 19:45, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

His edits are obviously controversial and need to be discussed on the talk page of the relevant entry to form consensus, but he's dropped off the site. Please post again if he reappears. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

152.86.164.35

Cross-wiki abuse, going on lots of different wikis to ask people to proxy edit for them on enwiki. Shown on Special:Diff/3054662. Blocked on simplewiki and enwiki too (that's why they're asking random people to edit for them there) Thanks, Ferien (talk) 16:43, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Koavf. They are continuing on the account StevwRudueieh (talk • contribs • global edits • page moves • block user • block log). Ferien (talk) 22:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That was fast, thank you! --Ferien (talk) 22:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Koavf, another IP address special:contribs/107.127.53.41, thanks. Stang 22:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Stang:. You beat me too it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
