Forced user renames coming soon for SUL[change source]

Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 17:08, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Warning[change source]

Hey Chenzw, Today I was in this situation. An IP is vandalizing continuously. So we are giving warnings to that IP. After reporting that IP, it continues it's bad work. But problem is no admin available that time. So it isn't blocked. What'll we do that time?--Pratyya (Hello!) 14:31, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how to use IRC? We have an IRC channel where stewards are available (#wikimedia-stewards). Stewards are able to carry out administrative actions (such as blocking and deletion) on any wiki in case of an emergency. You can ask for a steward over there. Chenzw  Talk  14:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Preference[change source]

What's the problem with Special:Preference? No Gadget. What's the problem? Do you know?--Pratyya (Hello!) 14:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to have been fixed. I don't know the cause of the problem, though. Chenzw  Talk  14:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. It's good that the problem is fixed.--Pratyya (Hello!) 14:49, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oregonian2012[change source]

Hi! Lately User:Oregonian2012 has been responding rudely to me. Can you send him a warning about the Wikipedia behavior policy. Do what's necessary. -TDKR Chicago 101 (talk), 8 May 2013, 19:35 (UTC).

This is somewhat hasty and unnecessary. Although the user's responses in question have been somewhat curt, there's certainly no need to currently elevate this beyond a civil discussion on their talk page, which is taking place. Certainly we're not at the stage where any kind of formal warning or administrator action is warranted. As a courtesy, you may additionally wish to alert the user in question to this kind of discussion in future. (And, as a side note, WP:AN would tend to be more appropriate for raising grievances.) Goblin 00:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC) I ♥ Barras![reply]
BG7 has summed it up pretty well. I will not intervene at this moment, because I think it is unnecessary. Rest assured that I have reviewed the relevant edits. Oregonian2012 has blanked the relevant section on his user talk. Let us assume good faith and take it that he has understood the concerns of other editors. If a similar incident happens in the future please feel free to bring it up again on his user talk, T:TDYK, or WP:AN. Chenzw  Talk  13:02, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note that it would be WT:DYK rather than T:TDYK. Goblin 15:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC) I ♥ Fr33kman![reply]

Swag[change source]

Hi ZW, could you consider salting the page above? The word swag doesn't seem to deserve an encyclopedia article, and everytime it's created, it's nonsense or vandalism. Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 15:35, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PS- On a side note, you may want to just issue a final warning to this user and block him if he continues vandalising. It's the same guy as the page vandalised in the past few days has always been the same. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 15:39, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It actually deserves an article (see here). I will leave it for now and will consider protecting the page (temporarily) if it gets worse. Chenzw  Talk  17:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
