Wikiversity:Request custodian action/Archive/21

A question about naming a new resource that will feature "drafts" of student efforts.
Up till now, I have been one of the worst culprits in treating Wikiversity like a wikitext webhosting service. But recent efforts from highly qualified people have given me hope that Wikiversity can become something better. The following page will probably resemble such a hosting service this Spring: Earlier, I created OpenStax/Astronomy as sort of a discussion/promotional effort to illustrate how students can contribute to OpenStax efforts. I would be more than happy to move these pages if anybody has a sense of where they actually belong. You can respond here, or anywhere on this blog. If you have no objection, just ignore this post because as we all know, qui tacet consentire videtur--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 18:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * OpenStax Astronomy/Student efforts


 * Just to clarify that I wasn’t thinking of you when I wrote that. On the contrary I think your work here is exemplary and appropriate (evidenced by this openness to community opinions) and you have my sincerest apologies if it seemed I was pointing at you. To be honest, the Non-WV examples that I was thinking of (although I’d struggle to find it now) were a set of user-pages and subpages in English Wikipedia, which were hosting a game of some sorts. It was discovered a while ago but had been there for the best part of a year. Green Giant (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Just as you were not thinking of me when you wrote your post, you were extremely far from my mind when I wrote mine. In general, neither you, I, nor anybody else should feel offended if we find some of our pet projects a victim of our proposed cleanup.  The goal of the cleanup is not to suppress certain resources, but to highlight those that will bring more people into Wikiversity.  Why am I so dedicated to Wikiversity?  I'm not.  My dedication is to the wikitext used by WMF.  With its ability to record all edits, link vocabulary words for benifit of non-experts, the CC licensing and the ease with which prose can be modified and reused, wikitext should become the standard means by which academicians compose and communicate.  Of all the WMF wikis, Wikiversity seems most likely to accomplish what I hope is a revolution in how we organize and communicate our ideas.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 00:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Invalid Title
While trying to add a category to Web 2.0 /TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA I received this error message:

"'This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Invalid Title '"

Is this because of the all caps TITLE? --mikeu talk 15:56, 24 January 2018 (UTC)


 * It's the space around the /. Disable that filter, move the page, and then enable the filter again. I should probably write a scan for existing pages with spaces around the /. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 19:39, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

A candidate for our first use of draft space
I found a good candidate for draft space. My course has only about 24 students, and only those who come to class on Fridays will be invited to join Wikiversity and contribute. See Talk:OpenStax_Astronomy. Perhaps we could discuss this there so my students can "watch" us discuss the question. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 21:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like DNA to be moved into Draft namespace. I've created a few independent pages on DNA and I would like to integrate them into one page. ---Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure this is a good example. DNA wasn't in use. It was just a redirect. Feel free to expand on DNA. Separately, you don't need to request moves to draft here. The community has given support to moving all similar content to Draft: space, and you already have the rights to move without redirect. You can just move it and cite WV:RFD. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:39, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I meant Deoxyribonucleic acids, sorry. But thanks for creating a new page for DNA. I'll hopefully use it sometime soon. ---Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 17:06, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Is everybody too busy to discuss guidelines for draft space? I know I am (too busy)--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:59, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Request to unblock "New User Blocked Edit"
I would like to update the WikiJournal_Preprints/Leptospirosis article but is blocked due to new user restriction. I would need someone to help me to update the preprint to reflect the quality of its corresponding Wikipedia page. The wikipage just recently got promoted to GA status. Otherwise, would you unblock me to update the page? Thanks. Cerevisae (discuss • contribs) 20:51, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Quachthanh
Please block Quachthanh, this user causes nothing but trouble, and as evidence, is blocked on other wikis. These wikis include vi.wikipedia and en.wikibooks. He/she has come to Wikiversity to continue his unwanted disruptiveness and Wikiversity does not tolerate this type of behavior this user is displaying. Thanks. ---Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Custodians can't block--only admins and higher. Can you please provide diffs of offending material? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Admittingly, I can't seem to find any diffs that are suitable for your query. His work has most likely been deleted as it seems to be on en.wikibooks (by QuiteUnusual). Looking through the deleted contributions, it seems to be very possible that the offending diffs you seek will be found in the deleted contributions. And as said below, sockpuppetry is a normal tactic of this copyright vandal mastermind, so it is possible that there are offending diffs on his other accounts that he uses. Also, an interesting note: This sentence constructed by the user I'm requesting a block on seems to have totally different English than what seems to be expected from a so-called "university student" in Canada (and living in Canada for the past 30 years) and somehow, there seem to be no ties to any French wikis either--which rule out the possiblity of him only studying in French; btw I do not understand why he writes his user page on the Vietnamese Wikipedia in English when it can be assumed that, with strong evidence coming from his contributions to vi.wikibooks (like here), he seems to be able to grasp and communicate in a pretty level amount of Vietnamese. Seems sketchy to me. ---Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Quachthanh is also Thanhtrungquach and Quach thanh, and perhaps other accounts. Most edits are by IP (69.165.131.31, 184.149.29.74, 198.96.187.2, 205.189.94.11, 205.189.94.12, 205.189.94.13, 205.189.94.14, 205.189.94.15, 205.189.94.16, 205.189.94.17). The user is responsible for 348 pages under Fundamental Physics and 67 pages under Fundamental Mathematics, almost all of it Wikipedia license violations. I'm fine with blocking accounts and removing the contributions if there is support to do so. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Please do. Sockpuppetry is bad. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:14, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * While I agree with User:Koavf, I'm concerned about apparently linking IPs with account names. This is generally forbidden except through Checkuser and they usually won't do it. Also, Thanhtrungquach = Quachthanh = Quach thanh. These are various Vietnamese names for the same person - Thanh Trung Quach. This is not illegal sockpuppetry! The user is not trying to hide their identity! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:32, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * For example Fundamental Physics/Atomic radiation contains formulas which are Public Domain physics which no one owns, the images are from commons and the associated text is Vietnamese descriptions. None are Wikipedia license violations. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:48, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Why is there Vietnamese content on the English Wikiversity? BTW, I the block on this account and other accounts that are related to this account as well. -Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Sock puppetry is not accepted if it is used to violate blocks. In this case, the tying of the IP addresses to the user and the block on abusive edits were supported by Marshallsumter at . Proper attribution is described in Terms of Use. This user does not and did not provide proper attribution for works copied from Wikipedia. The examples are too numerous to count. The sock puppetry can be blocked as is. If Marshallsumter wants to go through and provide proper licensing for each page of Fundamental Physics and Fundamental Mathematics, please do so. Otherwise, the content is in violation of Wikimedia terms of use. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 02:42, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * All three accounts: Thanhtrungquach = Quachthanh = Quach thanh were created before "02:45, 6 September 2018 Dave Braunschweig (discuss | contribs | block) blocked Quach thanh (discuss | contribs)." so which blocks were violated? Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics formulas are not copyrighted to anyone or Wikipedia. Here's the "the tying of the IP addresses to the user and the block on abusive edits were supported by Marshallsumter": "At first the abuse filter seems great, especially if it restricts each IP from this user to Fundamentals of Chemistry, Fundamental Mathematics, or Fundamental Physics. I can move those others to subpages of one of these three and revert those the IP did not create back to their original resources, unless you want to use your bot. Or, we restrict the user right to these three only as programming another filter might create unexpected headaches. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 01:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)" I think you meant "I suppose there are three options


 * 1) Roll back edits and ask at each for them to discuss their edits first,
 * 2) Warn them that they will be blocked,
 * 3) Then start blocking them; or
 * 4) Collectively move their synopses to subpages of the main subject such as Physics, Chemistry, Capacitors, etc. and block if they continue; or
 * 5) Try to contact their teacher by tracking down their geographic location, not going to be easy, or delete and block them all for say a week." by me from that page. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 03:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but there's no direct connection between this response and the issue Atcovi has raised. There is no "them". This is a single user in a single geographic location. The user has been warned on multiple accounts and multiple wikis. The user issue has now been addressed. The content is in violation of the Terms of Use. Do you intend to address the license violations or are you leaving it for others to address? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I took a quick look at Fundamentals of Chemistry and there are hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles which suggest this page does not have licensing violations or violations of the Terms of Use. The number of pages and subpages is large and will take quite a while. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 14:59, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Uncertain about Quizbook attribution rules.
I am converting all my Quizbank files to LaTex/pdf form, keeping the LaTex markup code under QB. Many of these quizzes are based on examples from OpenStax Universty Physics. Is my statement at File:Quizbankqb_d_cp2.12.pdf OK? Considering the difficulty in policing exam questions for copyright, my work will be Public Domain. But some questions were taken almost verbatum from the textbook. Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:11, 25 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm just seeing this now and don't know if there has been a discussion. It is a bit problematic to create a single file that has some material covered by PD and other material with CC-BY-SA. I'm not sure I understand what the advantage is of having some of them PD. I would recommend keeping it simple and just use the same license for all questions. It really doesn't matter to wv but it might make reuse easier. Just my opinion. --mikeu talk 23:49, 31 March 2019 (UTC)


 * The PD questions are often submitted by students who prefer not to register a username or make their own names public. As the banks become larger, it will be possible for all the questions on a given quiz to have the same type of license.  For the moment, I am using a footnote on each question to identify attribution.   This footnote only appears on the instructor's answer key.  Instructors will be free to create mixed-attribution study guides, and they will be responsible for attaching the attribution to each question when they disseminate the guides for students.  I hope to eventually create software that makes this attribution in study guides easy and painless for the instructors and students. Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 20:18, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Welcome! Please note that edit history from one project doesn't carry over to another. We just had a situation this week where someone with more than 100 edits on Wikipedia made a real mess at Wikiversity. Fortunately, the filters restricted their efforts from becoming any worse than they already were. I've done what I can for you in terms of settings. You'll need a few more edits before most of the filter annoyances are behind you. Thanks for your contributions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 10 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you Dave. On the page I was editing, under "See also" I see a red link:
 * * Workplace bullying (2014 book chapter)
 * Since this is, supposedly, from a 2014 book (5 years ago), how come it links to an blank page?!?
 * This is a conspicuous absence, as this addresses a growing problem as dysfunctional behaviours on social media increasingly spill over into the workplace.

 * Unlike Wikipedia, Wikiversity focuses on the learning experience rather than the content. Sometimes, that learning experience is for the writer rather than the reader. Motivation and emotion is a college semester project where each chapter is written by a single student. What you see is what the student wrote. It is typically not edited, as that was their final project for the course. They made a small error in the link. I've corrected it.
 * If you're looking for a general rule to follow, any of our main space pages should be high quality and are open to correction otherwise. Subpages are more dependent upon the resource. Many are written by students for a course, and may be waiting for students in a following semester to review and make corrections. There are also some very good subpages, and some real junk just waiting for someone to find it and tag it for deletion. It takes a little time to learn which is which, but we appreciate your contributions! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:56, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * @Dave B. Thank you for your kind assistance. I also found the gremlin in the wiki-link, but you evidently found and corrected it before me. Thanks. The content creating is a learning experience for the contributor, but in the long term, it is for the benefit of all readers, who may also contribute more pearls of wisdom along the way.

User Cloud forest
As I have some involvement on this Wiki also I wanted to bring up this user. I am an Admin, Bureaucrat and Checkuser on Wikispecies. I wanted to bring to your attention cross wiki issues with this user. If you look at his Global Account Info you will see he has been indefinitely blocked across three wikis. He also was compiling enormous amounts of data on his talk page at Wikispecies. In part because he had been blocked. If you look at his User Contributions he has now made over 1500 edits here on a new account. I imagine he has given up doing this on Wikispecies and is now trying it here. I am not a sysop here so leave it to your staff to decide what to do but I think you should be aware of the issues. One of our other Bureaucrats has also been involved in this. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 01:04, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

It would appear as though almost all of the user's contributions here are either copyright or license violations of content copied from other sources, including unreferenced Wikimedia projects.

Assistance on this Wiki
Hi everyone, I have had some brief discussions with and  about this and have been encouraged to make a post here. Only reason for initial privacy was that I did not wish to step on anyone's toes so to speak. So to introduce myself I have been an editor for over 10 years mostly on EN:WP and Wikispecies and am a Bureaucrat, Admin and Checkuser on Wikispecies (verify. On this wiki I am on the editorial board of the Wikijournal of Science working with Thomas. As such I am spending more time here on a daily basis. I am not doing lots of content editing here, I spend much of my time doing this on Wikispecies and Wikipedia (the latter in several languages). However if anyone needs input in my area of expertise I am happy to help. See my Wikispecies User Page, and biographies about me on Wikispecies and Wikipedia for information on that.

I am happy to help out here in an administrative role. I looked through your policies for administrators and checkuser and was pointed to some recent discussions here. I developed the Checkuser policy and all the associated pages on Wikispecies. I do not know if you want checkusers here, and can justify it but I am happy to apply for that if all sysops here would be interested. Obviously that is a process and not a simple one, but I am already identified to and have signed the privacy policies with Wikimedia. As a checkuser I have been involved in some difficult cases, one that resulted in the de-sysop and eventual global lock of a Bureaucrat here. I cannot of course use checkuser tools without the authority to do so. On this wiki I do not. However, I can lend my experience as a checkuser to cases that come up, in the discussion phase, that may eventually go to the Stewards which is your current course of action. We gain experience as a checkuser, we can usually spot a sock when we see one now. The tools are used to confirm and see the extent and do something about it. I cannot do the latter part here but I can look at a case and recommend to take it to the stewards, or not to. One of the other Checkusers on Wikispecies is also a Curator here.

I am also happy to do patrolling and anti-vandalism, quite happy to spend a little time going through the recent edits each day to check for the usual drama people cause. I am also happy to partake in policy discussions and development, and to help with the building of pages relevant to the outcomes of such discussions. I have been involved in a significant amount of policy development on both Wikipedia and Wikispecies.

Thanks everyone and happy to help. Cheers Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 15:33, 18 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Welcome and thank for offering to help. I think a good place to start is for the community to review CheckUser policy which has been a stalled proposal for more than a decade but never adopted. We should proofread the text and discuss any changes on the talk page with the eventual goal of adopting some version as an official policy. The experience that you have in this area would be valued in such discussions. --mikeu talk 16:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Interface admin needed
I have a few edit requests that require an interface admin, but this wiki doesn't have any. Are there any objects to me requesting the edits on meta?

At MediaWiki:Common.css, the following should be added:
 * MediaWiki talk:Gadgets-definition - fix our gadgets (edit request posted there before realizing that enwikiversity doesn't have any interface admins)
 * Creation of a sitewide CSS page, and editing another:

and at MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css, the following should be added (copied from enwiki): together, these allow hiding things from non-custodians. There, it make request #3 possible:
 * At MediaWiki:Deletedtext, hide the undelete button from curators by replacing " " with " "; curators can delete but not undelete, so they shouldn't be shown a link to undelete.

Thanks, --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 02:28, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This all seems very sensible. We should have locals who can do all of these things, too. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:08, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, if we want to keep it local, 'crats can grant and revoke  rights to users. --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 03:29, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This has never come up before now. It sounds reasonable. I've added a section to WV:RFA. Please submit a request for permissions at Candidates_for_Custodianship. --mikeu talk 09:30, 20 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Actually, it has come up before . The community couldn't agree on how to implement, so our current approach is the lowest common denominator at the time. That is, when someone needs access, it is granted for 24 hours. I'll add User:DannyS712 for 24 hours now, and then we can look at longer-term solutions separately. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:01, 20 October 2019 (UTC)


 * you can take a look at my contributions for today to see what I did - https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?target=DannyS712&namespace=8&wpfilters%5B%5D=associated&tagfilter=&start=2019-10-20&end=2019-10-20&limit=1000&title=Special%3AContributions (fix the gadgets, fix a typo in MediaWiki:Gadget-blank.js, add the css, hide the undelete link, and also hide the "edit" link from the same message, since non-custodians cannot edit the interface either). I'm done; please revoke the rights now. I keep an eye out for any issues, or any other things to fix Thanks, --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 18:59, 20 October 2019 (UTC) (updated --22:56, 20 October 2019 (UTC))

 * Dave, would it be a problem to give Danny these user rights for (e.g.) two weeks so he can have an opportunity to really go over the CSS and not have to make several requests? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:47, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Um, thanks for the vote of confidence, but please don't - m:Interface administrators says that I need 2fa enabled, and I haven't taken the time to set it up yet. I didn't say anything last time because it was only for 24 hours, and in the future if its for a few hours or so while I'm at the computer I ~think~ it's safe, but until I have 2fa working please don't give me such rights for more than 24 hours. Thanks, --DannyS712 (discuss • contribs) 06:13, 24 October 2019 (UTC)


 * ✅ -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * let us know please when you set up 2 factor authentication. Dannys712 is a translation admin across several wikis hence a trusted user, once he has the 2fa set up I agree with Justin he is one who could receive these rights for one or two weeks. As a generalisation this is how this issue is dealt with as without good cause and clear experience this right would not be given anyway. There is generally no justifiable reason to ever give this right permanently. But he does need the 2fa set up. Cheers  Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 14:24, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Discussion About 9/11 Being Shut Down Yet Again For Political Reasons
Hi,

I stopped using Wikipedia a long time ago when I realised it was being abused by special interest groups for political reasons. Stupidly, I thought Wikiversity might be different, so I opened a talk page to discuss 9/11. After one comment I am now unable to make edits on the site, because whoever responded has misrepresented what I wrote and used it as an excuse to blacklist me. I am absolutely sick of administrators doing this on Wikipedia to shut down discussion on pages which are supposed to be designed for discussion.

In short, he has misrepresented my edit in two ways to give himself a faux justification to shut me down.

Firstly, he has misrepresented an attack against somebody else's comment as an attack against their person. I wrote that one of the comments I had read was ignorant (which is not a personal attack), and he has pretended I wrote that the author was ignorant (which is a personal attack). Whether a comment is ignorant or not is a matter of objective fact and should not be confused with the subjectivity of personal differences.

Second, he claimed Wikiversity does not support conspiracy theories, which is a textbook political tactic he is using to smear me and prevent discussion.

It is also objectively false to claim that "Wikiversity does not support conspiracy theories". The historical record is absolutely littered with theories about conspiracies. What he actually means is that he doesn't want to discuss the facts so he's going smear me.

Look, I know how this is going to end up. I just want somebody, anybody to understand that your platform (i.e. anything with "Wiki" in front of it) is politically compromised on the issue of whether 9/11 may have been an inside job. It is absolutely impossible to present any facts or evidence which dispute the official account of events, and I can testify to that through the personal experience of trying to insert Professor Niels Harrit's study of the Ground Zero dust residue into the main Wikipedia page and being banned for it after a similar experience as I'm having right now.

In the extremely unlikely event anybody actually reads this who is neutral on the matter, please understand you have people working for you who are obviously very familiar with the government staple tactic of removing problematic elements and then misrepresenting them and/or their beliefs after the fact to give themselves a faux justification (i.e. cover their own arses).


 * Your argument here is a shill gambit, and although not quite ad hominem is still a logical fallacy in any debate. To debate you must address the points by refuting or accepting them, just calling them ignorant does nothing and the only difference between a shill gambit and an ad hominem attack is what your aiming at. I am not familiar with your efforts at EN:WP, but I see no reason based on the above to take this any further. Scott Thomson  ( Faendalimas ) talk 01:44, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Look friend, I am not particularly interested in your transparent smear attacks, which intend to discredit me without ever discrediting the argument I present. All that does is corroborate my assertion that your motives are political. It's really very simple. Occam's Razor is the principle that we begin with the simplest explanation and work our way outwards. Given that most people agree the collapse of the WTC buildings at least looked like a controlled demolition, NIST should have searched for explosives residue in order to rule that hypothesis out before moving forward. They did not do that, it is a fact they did not do that, and calling me names like "shill" is not going to alter that fact.

Furthermore, your insinuation that I did not directly refute the comment I responded to is ludicrous and false. The comment I responded to was: NIST found no evidence of alternative hypotheses. My response was: NIST did not look for evidence of alternative hypotheses. Could you possibly explain why you are not telling the truth?

In fact, don't bother. It isn't as if you are going to tell the truth, is it?


 * Shill Gambit is a term defining a type of argument in a debate. Its not referring to a person. Or to you. You should sign your comments by the way with 4 tilde's ~ . My comment above was to close the discussion. This forum is for requesting assistance from Custodians. Not for continuing discussion that belongs on the talk page of your original comment.
