Igor Mangushev

Could you consider dropping by Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Igor Mangushev and addressing some of the issues raised? My apologies for how long this review has taken, but trying to get it moving. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:57, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I had forgotten entirely about this review (Upon reading your message, I initially had thought this was the first time I had heard about it, but after checking my email it looks like I got a ping in July about it). I can try to take a look at some point over the next week, though I will admit that I am an absolute novice as it pertains to A-class reviews. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hawkeye7: I've looked over the item. I broadly agree that there is an issue with comprehensiveness in the article; I think the article is broad in coverage, but I don't think it's quite comprehensive (surely, there has to be some Russian-language coverage of his childhood or life prior to turning 23 somewhere), so honestly I don't think the article is going to be up to A-class standards without additional research and substance in the article. I'm also not quite able to remedy this—my Russian-language skills are limited to doing things like saying "hi"—so I don't think I'm quite going to be able to get the article over the A-class hump. I'll note that I haven't really been actively involved in maintaining the article since February/March; I played no part in the GA review process, and CT55555 alone deserves the credit for getting the article up to GA quality from B/C-class. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's okay. I did not know who did what so I asked you both. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Red-tailed hawk, if you have time I'd be grateful for your opinion on what the threshold is for an article getting a copyvio revdel tag. For the record here are my rewrites to a new article take care of some copying/minor paraphrasing from sources. (There were also a few things off about some of the text that were also included in the rewrites.) Best, CMD (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'll try to get you a proper response over the next couple of days. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on your RfA!

Some champagne for you!
Here's to a new admin! I hope you have a very happy new year and I can't wait to see what you do with the mop. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 01:47, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the admin's common room

I've now given you your mop. Your armchair is the one nearest the bins. You are expected to make the tea and take out the garbage until the next new admin comes along. SilkTork (talk) 03:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Red-tailed hawk, if you'd like, I'd nominate you for a gift t-shirt at Wikimedia Merchandise. ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which gift t-shirt? The admin one or the normal editor one? Kidding of course. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (he|she|they) 21:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Many congratulations on your successful RfA. Now you may take a short break (if you can) and then come back full force. Anyways, I guess Robertsky will be here soon with the baton. Happy editing and see ya around! Volten001 ☎ 05:18, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

Tea. Minty, or lemon. Raspberry if neither of those are your thing. That must have been stressful. Any of these will help, though, and be pleasant considering the time of year. Share a glass? –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 10:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There we gooooooooooo

The Hawk found a high perch! So happy to see you've been properly recognized for your quality and competence. When you first came around your name made me smile because I love red-tailed hawks (all hawks really, even pun based ones) but that smile soon became because I can trust that when I see your name good things are happening or bad things are being cleaned up. If I can offer one piece of advice: many people will lash out at you for the admin actions you take no matter how reasonable and equanimous... They don't hate you, they hate the mop.

Thank you for this. I am happy to hear of your fondness for the majestic creature after which I have taken my name. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Belated congrats!

Congrats on passing RfA! I was taking a holiday Wikibreak so didn't see your RfA but am glad that you passed fairly resoundingly. I hope that the experience hadn't been too streesful and look forward to your work with the mop. VickKiang (talk) 11:33, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 30, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Administrator Conduct Case 2024-1: Mzajac/Workshop.

DRN or ANI?

I came across the article Companion (Doctor Who) and noticed it had several problems. Before tearing into it, I engaged on the talk page. I'll admit I came in hot, as I often do, but I kept the discussion focused on my perceived problems with the article. The other editors responded by circling the wagons and more or less daring me to make the first edit, while assuring me it would almost certainly be reverted.

I want to improve this article, but I'm not sure if this is an issue for DRN or ANI. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 07:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) If you want my two cents, BRD is your friend. Make the edits you wanna make, then the ball's in their court. Consensus is always burdened on the person who wants to include the content. (And maybe ease up on the "there's a cabal of fanboys out to get me and ruin everything" rhetoric. Not the most productive.) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BRD is advisable, though it would be probably most helpful to engage in thorough and specific talk page discussion that propose specific changes before you take it to a noticeboard. This seems to be a content dispute rather than a conduct dispute, so I'd say that avoiding ANI is wise. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 15:21, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/StraitsX Singapore Dollar

Hello, Red-tailed hawk,

It's nice to see you helping out with closing AFD discussions we can always use more admin closers. Just as a head's up though but the common practice among many closers is that if there is only a deletion nomination statement and one editor supporting deletion, the discussion is closed as a Soft Delete because of the low participation in the discussion. This means that the article can be restored upon request at WP:REFUND. Of course, if you have questions about this, please inquire with other admins who frequent AFD discussions. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:10, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz! Thank you for your message; I'm aware of soft deletion. The article you've linked above in the section heading was not eligible for soft deletion due to a contested PROD. It looked like there was consensus among participants to delete; the arguments by the two participants, while not presented in a source-by-source SA Table, were based in policy. The closure was made following a relist. This was intentionally closed as a hard delete. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incident report got buried

Moved to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard § Incident report got buried

— Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. What's going on? Is this case being analyzed or something? Fdom5997 (talk) 04:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've brought the case to the general attention of the administrator corps for their evaluation. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 19:29, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind assisting me with an appeal?

I see you're actively in the AE page and I think that's where I'm supposed to go to appeal my topic ban. There's a lot going on in this template though so I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Could I email you what I think my appeal is supposed to say? Cmsmith93 (talk) 22:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the sock account

Hi. Sorry, I just wanted to point out that the page history I linked (Seoul Subway Line 3), in my AIV report, also included an older account doing the same DUCK behaviour of redirecting: <this one>. That one is also glocked, one of the other-wiki blocks for that account also link to an LTA page. Not sure if you even want to investigate further, just figured I'd clarify. – 2804:F14:80A2:2E01:383A:951C:7025:13F2 (talk) 05:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. I'll update the SPI note. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your sock's signature

With apologies, I do not care for it at all. It's not the signature per se. I have vague recollections that I used to rather like it before, which must have been before you became an admin. It links to this talkpage which gets highlighted by the admin+ highlighter script and the result is an abomination that requires of me extra effort not just to read what it says but to not skip three or more lines of text in its general vicinity. Maybe you could find a combination that works fine with and without the highlighter, if possible? Or, if it's just me, do feel as free to ignore. Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Usedtobecool: I've changed the target in the talk part of the signature to target Red-tailed sock's talk page (which will then redirect to my main one). Does this resolve the issue? — Red-tailed sock (Red-tailed hawk's nest) 00:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. Perfect. Thanks! Usedtobecool ☎️ 01:56, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonators

Hey, just a heads up, I recall it being discussed on one of the RFAs recently (can't remember which one exactly) that it is technically a violation of WP:INVOLVED for you to block accounts that are impersonating you. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 19:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. I had consulted off-wiki with a few folks, and they had seemed to indicate that it was A-OK to go ahead and block them in straightforward cases. If the consensus is that it's WP:INVOLVED to block those accounts, and also that I should avoid doing that, I'll avoid doing so going forward. Would you be willing to send a link to that RfA discussion, when you get the chance? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 19:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) I'd say this is a case of: In straightforward cases (e.g., blatant vandalism), the community has historically endorsed the obvious action of any administrator – even if involved – on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion.
