Discretionary sanctions alerts

You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise.

Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right; don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first...

Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page; click here to start a new section at the bottom. I usually notice messages soon. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply. If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, or I'm slow to reply, feel free to approach me here.

Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia.

If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.
If I have not made any edits in a while, (check) you may get a faster response by posting your request in a more centralized place.

If you need to get a repeat vandal blocked, you can report them to Administrator Intervention against Vandalism.
If you need a page to be protected from editing, try Requests for page protection.
If you would like to request rollback rights or account creator rights, Wikipedia:Requests for permissions is, well, that way... :)
If your problem does not fit into any of the above criteria, and your issue is urgent, you can:
1. Make a post on the Administrators' noticeboard, the Incidents noticeboard, or one of the other noticeboards.
2. Ask another administrator for help. Here is a complete List of Wikipedia Administrators.
If you want to ask for help, you can ask at the help desk for questions about Wikipedia, and at the reference desk for more general questions. You may also simply ask a question on your talk page and add {{helpme}} before your question. This will attract the attention of experienced users who will most likely be able to help you.

Did I delete your page, block you, or do something else that I should not have done?

I'm going through edits made by socks; it's a particularly vile set. I just dropped a rangeblock as well, but I guess I should have mentioned anti-Islamic to the block notice as well... Drmies (talk) 01:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@Drmies: sorry, lost track of this. I shouldn't look at messages before I'm really ready to edit. Anything I should do? Doug Weller talk 20:43, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

No, it's more an FYI than anything else. I thought it was funny that I ran into you while investigating a sock of this nature. Drmies (talk) 22:57, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Edit on Jagannath .

Hi, By reading your message, I knew that you are intelligent. Please let me edit Jagannath because I am from Puri, odisha, India🇮🇳. I am a great devotee of him and I have Researched about Jagannath for years. Pease unblock me. I can contribute better. Pratimatripathy (talk) 20:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Message added 22:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

You seemed to have missed my ping there--I asked a question about what your further plans for the article on VPS are. MrClog (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, MrClog I don't really have plans, so little time, so many fish. Doug Weller talk 12:24, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Editor adding original research

Hi, could you or any of your page-watchers please intervene in Christchurch mosque shootings article? The article contains original research in the background section which seems to be added there to justify what that terrorist did. I was reverted by an editor who seems not to understand what an original research is.see here-SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

None of the sources there are related to the shooting. There should be no debate about this original research but yet I got reverted. It seems that it was added there just to justify the terrorist attacks against Muslims.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:52, 28 March 2020 (UTC) SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

The contributions link at the top of your talk page (Halloween section) is linking to another editor contributions.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 09:13, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@SharabSalam: sorry, busy day. I see Drmies stepped in. The other editor was my first account, but I need to fix that. And maybe the Halloween bit when I can figure out what I did! Doug Weller talk 19:44, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
