Никифор Калинов@polandballruwiki

 * Aphrodite: Thank you for the report and apologies for the delay. I can indeed confirm that Никифор Калинов and ContryBel are related. Not only that but Никифор Калинов also had several sockpuppet accounts, as listed below:
 * Winter-Own55
 * セージ
 * Ortodox1266
 * Frei728
 * !Bochkarev!
 * Ж.......
 * Розенфельдовец (Миша)
 * Ворона
 * Федерация
 * I have globally locked all of these accounts so there is no need to locally block them on your wiki. Additionally, I have also locked Никифор Калинов for this as their sockpuppets were evidently disruptive as many of them are locally blocked on your wiki. I have also globally blocked his IP range for a year so there should he should not be returning for a long time.
 * As for Invlad3452 and Луганский маппер, there is no data which links them together or to Никифор Калинов. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you for your report! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 02:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Agent Isai, thanks for the answer! I want to inform you that Никифор Калинов bypasses the blocking from the new account, and does not even try to hide it. Can you please block him again? Aphrodite (talk) 15:15, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have locked that new account. It seems he used a VPN to circumvent his global IP blocks so I have globally blocked all IPs by that VPN provider. Thank you for the report! Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:08, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw their latest sockpuppets and I have locked both of them and I blocked all IPs used by their newest VPN provider. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 06:01, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Commetia@customcountryhumanwiki
When I requested a CountryHumans OC Wiki, it was declined saying that there was already one. When I tried to contact the owner, (using the link given) the Main Page was deleted. I tried to contact the owner/Bureau, but it kept saying that my edits were going to show publicly once it was approved.) I used a little trick I know to find them on other Wikis, and I contacted them on a very active Wiki. (They have only made five Global Edits, four of them on the Wiki

That was four days ago, and no answer. I gave them very big details on what I would want, and what I would do.

(When the Wiki was declined, it said that I could request to become an Admin on Wiki if it wasn't active.)

What I'm saying is that I would like to become an Admin or even a new Bureaucrat, and "Adopt" the Wiki.

I would like to run a local election, but I cannot edit on that Wiki. It always says when you press Save Changes,

"PENDING REVIEW

'''Success: your edit has been sent to moderation. You can continue editing your version of this page."'''

This happens with every edit I make; so I can't actually edit the Wiki. So, where would I have the election, and is there a way you can shut that off? (So other users who would want to edit and I could edit) Commetia (talk) 23:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

 * User's request was denied under CP11 as duplicate of wiki scope

Real Life Villains Wiki Potential Content Policy Violations?
At least 95% of the pages on there, do not have a source for reference.

 * I believe at this juncture it would be ideal to raise the idea locally and see how receptive local managers are to cleaning up sources. Seeing how willing they are on this in public could give Stewards some ground to raise this topic as a priority if their intervention is required. --Raidarr (talk) 15:42, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll give that a try. OrangeStar (talk) 19:33, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Listen, what the wikis say will be heard of, and people will use that as their source much more than anything else.
 * If you're gonna go out of your way to get a wiki meant to educate people about real life villains and why people should not be them, then that means you are enabling bad people. RoboticBloxxer (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The concern raised here is that the wiki is mostly unsourced. Given that it has many articles dealing with people, this could be a potential violation of CP 3 (and anyway, ignoring whatever the policy may say, it's best to include sources for the claims in any article whenever it's dealing with real life stuff, be it living people or other things). It's not our intention to enable bad people. OrangeStar (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * To be honest it looks like you missed a few words and that muddles the point you were making but I assume you are implying that people trying to hold the wiki accountable are enabling bad people.
 * The problem with 'what the wikis say will be heard of' is that 'heard of' is literally hearsay. I can make up whatever crap I want and put it on the wiki. As long as it's obscure or I can whip out minority arguments/political buzzwords to support it, it's good and with the right timing it probably won't be challenged. If there wasn't a wide internet with thorough and better backed up information that demonstrates why people are 'bad' (between more objective sources as Wikipedia with a deliberate neutral tone, and blogs/journalism going into the nasty details), perhaps your implication of social benefit would hold more value. But it doesn't. The wiki brings little overall benefit and even less so if it's too lazy to back itself up and it's a sludge of what people think or remember. Your post enables and excuses lazy writing that can just as well enable harassment. That is the concern involved here.
 * If 'look just google it' is what you are implying as the reason to sustain the wiki then you've failed to even demonstrate why the wiki should exist. If arbitrary 'oh I heard about it' is good enough to sustain the wiki content then it might as well be closed now. I'd rethink this approach.
 * I'm probably going to be gone by the time you reply, so this is my final 2c on the matter. I don't even think the wiki is quite that much of a problem to warrant closure or direct intervention but your "defense" here does a disservice. --Raidarr (talk) 13:09, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Issue with the AMYTW staff
On mh:amazingyoutubers:Amazing YouTubers Wiki, the staff are, in my opinion, rather lacking in competence and are not very reasonable. To be specific on this story, when Qualitipedia was on the verge of closing, DuchesstheSponge, a bureaucrat who had not contributed to the wiki in a year, attempted to close the wiki. After two failed attempts, he, for whatever reason, decided to abandon his plan to shut down the wiki and started legitimately contributing to it - however, I can't say the moderating has been particularly legitimate. Not long after returning to contributing, he edited the SMG4 page and removed "War of the Fat Italians 2021" from the list of good episodes and moved it to the list of bad episodes without any good explanation - he just said "fuck WOTFI 2021". When a user reverted this, he reverted them and gave no further reasoning to his actions. In addition to this, he also created a page on the SML video "Jeffy's 18th Birthday," which I put up for deletion because I felt it would fit better on Terrible SML Videos Wiki. However, Duchess reverted my edit with no explanation. I then created a topic on his talk page, questioning these two edits along with his apparent rule about the necessity of plainlinks, but he ignored me for a while, before eventually deleting the topic because it was "making him uncomfortable," which, to me, is just pure ignorance.

Meanwhile, thePCGamer, an administrator, is another staff member who has shown a lack of competence. Before DuchesstheSponge even closed the thread mentioned above, they marked the thread as resolved before Duchess could even answer, even though it was not their concern what was going on. Although I cannot prove exactly what they said due to Duchess deleting the topic, I believe their reasoning for closing the thread was that I was "annoying everyone," even though I was asking Duchess questions I believe are important. When I added a second topic about Duchess' behaviour due to his previous complete ignorance, thePCGamer again closed it, questioning why I had to keep asking questions when Duchess doesn't want to reply, and my reasoning why I have to do that is because there is no good reason he doesn't want to reply - it is realistically laziness. After a while, they blocked me because I am asking questions that "nobody seems to care about". When another user questioned this, they claimed that I stalked someone with no evidence, and also used many of the same lazy excuses they and Duchess constantly use. Raidarr and other users thankfully defended me, though thePCGamer has not yet ended their tactics, as they have again closed a thread unrelated to them since.

Pacsonic9000, the owner of AMYTW, although not as bad as Duchess and thePCGamer, still has their issues. They added me to the admin blacklist because I was "annoying" and thought that links and images don't qualify as evidence (which I have reasons for, also I never said links don't qualify as evidence), and also later said I had stalked Duchess (which again, there is no evidence of) and "made him uncomfortable" (which is quite pathetic) and also criticised me for adding Duchess' rant to the New Reception Wiki, which proves that they cannot handle people criticising Duchess, and also called me out on trying to revive Qualitipedia even though the RFC did not directly prevent people from doing that, nor did it necessarily attempt to do so. They also deleted a topic on their talk page questioning their actions, and marked a thread as resolved because I was "annoying," even though the thread was months ago anyway.

I am reporting this here because I have not been able to make any negotiations with the staff, and therefore I now see the only option is reporting it here. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:01, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I should also note I opened a discussion regarding their rights (this), but that has generated little discussion, despite a topic notice being posted on PCGamer and Duchess' talk page. --Blad  (talk • contribs • global) 20:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you have any comment here? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you're asking us to do here. Either way, the general rule is that local communities are responsible for electing their own administrators and Stewards would only intervene in internal matters if it's serious enough. Though these seem to be separate incidents which involve discretion so I'm not sure what Stewards could do, especially not knowing the policies and conventions on that specific wiki. What I would suggest would be to try to ask the users you mention to reply to this thread and explain their side of the story/explain why they took the actions they did. Otherwise I would note that administrators are accountable to their communities and shouldn't in any case try dismiss or hide dissent just because it makes them "uncomfortable".

 * I highly doubt that would work. ThePCGamer constantly marks threads made my me as resolved even if it's another admin's thread and they don't request for it to be closed, and the other two are still likely to just resolve the subject with no direct response.

 * Warn them against closing threads without valid reason and tell them Stewards are aware. Should they close another thread invalidly for the sake of suppressing local legitimate feedback, raise it up in this thread and we'll send them a message.

Issue regarding Qualitipedia
I noticed that all of the Qualitipedia wikis are now deleted. I have a couple of problems with this: Could you please do something about this? Thanks, Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:44, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Usually, wikis are deleted within six months of closure. The Qualitipedia wikis were closed on September 27, 2022, and I first noticed this deletion on January 23, 2023, which was probably January 22, 2023 in British time, which is only three months and five days.
 * 2) This includes Qualitipedia Meta, which was not even closed and there were still things to be done there. If you had at least just closed it, I wouldn't have such a problem, but I feel the content there is important and I was hoping it could eventually be moved to New Qualitipedia, which probably will not happen now, since you usually can't collect a dump file from a deleted wiki.
 * 3) I was in the middle of archiving things on the Qualitipedia wikis so I had information about the wikis and could use it when necessary, and now I cannot do that.
 * The RfC closure mandated it remain open for at least 3 months (this including Qualitipedia Central). As three months had passed, it was deleted as it was felt that that was more than enough time to archive whatever was needed and to download the XML dumps. The XML dumps are still live on Archive.org if you wish to download them. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, it should have been closed first so we at least had more of a warning. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 00:05, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The wikis have been closed for the past few months, as you noted since September 27. Wikis closed are able to be deleted per system administrator discretion, barring community consensus on certain topics. 3 months had passed, as the RfC mandated, on December 27, 2022, and the wikis could be deleted by SRE at any point without warning after that date. The XML dumps are still available on archive.org, as noted by . Our apologies for the inconvenience caused. If you require any further assistance, please feel free to reach out on my talk page.

 * I was talking about Qualitipedia Meta. It was never closed. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 20:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * All QP wikis had been closed. It was common sense that QP Meta would follow suit soon enough. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 04:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I feel it should have at least been closed and then deleted three months later. Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I get that. However, what's done is done, and it was done with the consultation of the Qualitipedia community and at the discretion of Stewards. This discussion doesn't really have more to add other than venting, so I suggest we end it here. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contributions • global • rights) 23:43, 25 January 2023 (UT
