Please give your advice

Hi. I've noticed that you reviewed Ann O'Leary (lawyer) article and decided to ask for your advice on law company article. Can you please take a look at this discussion about Reid Collins & Tsai article? I would appreciate your expert advice on the subject especially suggestions for the improvement. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

New Years new page backlog drive

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1 and run until January 29. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

• The total number of reviews completed for the month.
• The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

PROD on Donald Trump

Hi, I'm assuming this wasn't intentional or was a misclick, but I did want to check in to verify that there hasn't been an account compromise. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes mistake. No comprised account. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Perfect. Thanks for verifying. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:46, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Explanation, please

What was this all about? Favonian (talk) 20:31, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Favonian I've blocked for the week for BLP trolling on Trump because of that page move. See above, they also PROD'd the main Trump article earlier this week. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:34, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Tony! Favonian (talk) 20:36, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

(Redacted) Joseph2302 (talk) 20:36, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I have an urge to move it back. It is hard resisting it. Hopefully a compromised account only. :( J947 20:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

WP:CENSORSHIP much? Joseph2302 (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is not your soap box. Count yourself lucky the block wasn't indefinite! Favonian (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

You know that you should probably have been blocked a long time ago Joseph. Problem is that 99.9% of your edits are constructive, then you go and do something like this (as you did with Ipswich Town, moving it to Tractor Scum or whatever). I have no doubt your request will be formally declined, and I suspect strongly that if you repeat this in any sense going forward, you'll be prevented from making those constructive edits, which would be a real shame. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

@Favonian: It's indef now because of the subsequent comments. WP:UTRS can unblock if Joseph2302 commits to following BLP. --NeilN 20:43, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Neil. Classic case of suicide by admin. Favonian (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

For any UTRS admins contemplating an unblock: there was a similar incident last month: . So this is not some short term issue. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

• Also note the PROD above (permalink). Still on this page, but putting it down here with the rest for easier review. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:02, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Goodbye Joseph. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:06, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Long-term topic ban instead of an indef block would also work for me barring any other past issues. --NeilN 21:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

UTRS appeal #20268 was submitted on Jan 08, 2018 21:08:52. This review is now closed.

--UTRSBot (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Block reduced

Based on our conversation at UTRS appeal #20268, the block is reduced to 2 weeks with voluntary restriction on topics relating to American politics and indefinite topic ban on all pages relating to Donald Trump, broadly construed. On a second thought, I've dropped the page moves restriction because it overlaps with the warning on anymore similar disruptive editing/BLP violation would result in indefinite blocks without warning (the page move disruption, isolated in nature according to the moves log, would be included in this warning anyway). Alex Shih (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

This editing restriction has been logged here. Regards, Alex Shih (talk) 07:25, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Can we stop using the term "broadly construed"? WP:TBAN provides a definition of what does and what does not constitute a TBAN, we don't need the additional obfuscation which has muddied plenty of water later. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: I know you dislike the term, but do you have any suggestions to counter potential wiki-lawyering? To me, "broadly construed" simply covers these five examples. Even with "all pages" there can be uncomfortable wiggle rooms when "all edits" just doesn't seem applicable. Alex Shih (talk) 08:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

You don't need the term. The "wiggle room" is covered in the TBAN definition at WP:TBAN. What adding broadly construed does is to make it unclear. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

I agree, WP:TBAN and a basic application of common sense tells you what "broadly construed" means. But whatever. Maybe if I'd had more common sense, I wouldn't be in this situation. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
