Erich Clar page[edit]

I want to include a synthetic reaction that is known as Clar's reaction. It is of a certain class of cyclic ketones that condense with themselves when heated to 400 C in a mixture of zinc dust and zinc chloride.

I will add references and a description of what it is used for in synthesizing new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

My page Inayat Khan (actor)[edit]

Dear @DMacks i am a Pakistani actor my name is Inayat Khan. Please restore my page Inayat Khan (actor) which has been deleted by you. Inayatkhanactor (talk) 13:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Inayatkhanactor:, the Inayat Khan (actor) page was deleted based on a WP:AFD discussion. I do not see a basis to go against that consensus.

@DMacks could you please help me out to recover Inayat Khan (actor) ? Inayatkhanactor (talk) 19:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. It will not be done. Not by me, not by others. Read what I wrote. DMacks (talk) 19:34, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The next step for you is WP:Deletion review, but you will have to argue that my handling of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inayat Khan (actor) was improper or that there are multiple major new notable details that have happened in the past month. DMacks (talk) 19:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
unfortunately I couldn’t understand the whole conversation. @BeauSuzanne can you leave me a message on my official verified instagram @inayatkhanofficial i want to recover my wiki page Inayat Khan (actor) Inayatkhanactor (talk) 08:27, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. I discuss Wikipedia issues on the Wikipedia site, not on Instagram. No. Your article will not be recovered. DMacks (talk) 11:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Inayatkhanactor, How do you know about Draft:Inayat Khan Actor? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 12:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote that "Convenience links" list (I just now re-positioned it to clarify). They have good reason to know about the now-deleted Draft article, since they had created it. Instead, I would ask how they know about Inayat Khan (actor). DMacks (talk) 12:14, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously i am an actor & i like to type my name on google & i like to know about my self, thats how I found my article (page) InayatKhan (actor) on wikipedia Inayatkhanactor (talk) 12:26, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Saqib I have been working in industry for 10 years how could you say i am not a notable actor in Pakistan? Haven’t seen my drama Muqaddar Ka Sitara for ARY Digital on YouTube? Check out views & comments on my character. And i am playing the leading Hero Inayatkhanactor (talk) 12:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Inayatkhanactor, I don't waste my time watching dramas. Sorry! — Saqib (talk I contribs) 12:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You will accomplish more here by speaking directly rather than in euphemisms that do not make sense to everyone. DMacks (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Best wishes for success in your chosen career path. Maybe some day you will meet the threshold to earn an article on Wikipedia. DMacks (talk) 12:41, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking of 2.101.54.127 for ban evasion[edit]

Hi, I noticed the above IP was blocked for block evasion. It looks like they have a good number of contributions to chemical syntheses. Can you tell me about the reasoning behind this block? If there's some ambiguity about whether or not they were really evading, I'd like to discuss whether the (seemingly) useful contributions make blocking this IP more harmful than beneficial. Thanks for your time. RFZYNSPY talk 22:04, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's User:Nuklear. One typical behavior is extensive citing of patents, a type of ref that fails WP:RS. Another typical behavior is extensive uncited lists of related compounds, often that are only redlinks, or even if bluelink are solely listed based on the editor's personal analysis rather than WP:SECONDARY. DMacks (talk) 00:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Wow, that's one dedicated sock puppeteer. Thanks for the answer! RFZYNSPY talk 04:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [1]
  • The new Community Configuration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [2][3]
  • The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [4]

Problems

  • Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [5]
  • Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [6]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [7][8]
  • Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [9]
  • Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [10]

Amaravati[edit]

The user is using different IP addresses and frequently changing the city founder's name. Is it not vandalism? And you will block me for protecting the article from IP disruptions? And I am vandalising and misleading, what non sense are u talking? explain.

With other dubios mobile network IPs that same user made another 100 edits. And you are warning me unecessarily out of personal agenda? Kindly take your word back of final warning. This torture on me from u is not acceptable.Ustadeditor2011 (talk) 02:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ustadeditor2011 has been reverting edits that changed the "founder" field in the infobox to N. Chandrababu Naidu. The following is a list of edits that made that change. Most of these were by IP editors, some of whom may be the same person. Three of the edits were by logged-in editors. The list shows the edit summary given where relevant to that part of the edit made. Ustadeditor2011 has reverted nine out of the ten edits listed.

​He/she has now reverted edits that changed the "founder" field in the infobox to N. Chandrababu Naidu ten times on the Amaravati page.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Founder of Amaravati[edit]

Old City, Hyderabad was founded by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah (died 1612), not some Chief Minister or Politician, who built a software park 386 years later 35 km away in the city of modern Hyderabad during 1990's. Similarly old city Amaravathi is founded by Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu (died 1816) not some Chief Minister or Politician who is building a government complex 200 years later 35 km away in the city of modern Amaravati, Pls change it in the Amaravati article's infobox. This is applicable to any city of the world, Amaravati is not unique to this. Just because somebody is a fan of N. Chandrababu Naidu, cannot endorse it to the article illogically.Ustadeditor2011 (talk) 05:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This sort of discussion about an article belongs on the article's talk-page. I will not discuss it here at all. DMacks (talk) 05:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also mentioned it in article talk page, pls discuss there. Ustadeditor2011 (talk) 06:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade[edit]

Recent problematic edits all seemingly by the same editor, slightly different IPs that resolve to the same area. Nikkimaria & I have both removed an unsourced section, that has remained unsourced even though there has been a maintenance template on it since 2022. I've requested page protection but I see that you have edited this article in the past and thought you might be interested in the recent activity. I have posted to article talk page but I doubt the reverting editor will see it. - Shearonink (talk) 17:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up...my connectivity is a spotty:( IP range-blocked 1 week, article reverted. Please let me know if other problems arise. DMacks (talk) 17:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
