Isn't there something we can do to give it more bite for longterm editors who have the user right, or would it be better to eliminate it all together? I am aware of the growing backlogs in various areas where the mop is needed but this one seems easy enough to fix. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 02:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I’m not sure what much else there is to do: it doesn’t really do much. People love suggesting using it for BLPs, but it’s not great there because it sticks violations permanently in the history. I don’t really think we’ll ever get rid of it, but it’s worth pointing out when people are talking about it on a large scale that it’s not great. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:06, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I don’t really think we’ll ever get rid of it. We might, in a few years - T185664. Looks like it might be headed for undeployment. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

notice

Thank you, noted. I have small input, but only reason of my edits is strict following the sources, or remove editions misinterpreting them. Best regards Kojoto (talk) 21:56, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Not a problem. It's just a notice letting you know special rules are in place. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Question on notifications

Hello TonyBallioni. I just wanted to ask you if a Sockpuppeting case is opened against a user, is that user supposed to be notified that they are being accused of abusing accounts and sockpuppeting? There fore allowing them to have a say in the case? I came across an past case that was opened against me and it seems the person who filed it never did notify me. I only found out after being blocked. [Case in question] As if so I wouldn’t know it was happening. Is it a requirement to notify the accused? Thanks and stay well. Also thank you again for unblocking me that time. I continue to use solely one account as promised. OyMosby (talk) 16:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

We don’t require notifications for SPIs and most of the time people aren’t notified. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Haikyu (season 1)

Can you restore the page without the summaries or show me the history link from 17:54, 28 June 2020 on List of Haikyu epiosdes so I can do it because this isn't right for other people. SpectresWrath (talk) 03:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I’d talk to the deleting admin. I’m not that familiar with that page. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:24, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Grosaktion Warsaw

Why was Grossaktion Warsaw protected for extended access? I need to make an edit. In the second section it should be "the SS commander in charge of all police and security forces in the General Government", not just SS commander in charge of the General Government, as to not confuse people. Thanks. Edit0r6781 (talk) 19:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

The page for Treblinka was also protected. These are pages that I've made approved edits on that I can no longer contribute to. Edit0r6781 (talk) 19:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Edit0r6781, the Arbitration Committee placed a restriction in place requiring individuals be extended confirmed in order to edit pages related to Antisemitism in Poland from 1933-1945, including the Holocaust in Poland. My protection was enforcing this ruling. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

That's disappointing. I've made approved edits on both those pages and now I can't contribute to them anymore. Any idea when this is going to be lifted? Edit0r6781 (talk) 19:36, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Edit0r6781, probably never. There’s been some fairly extreme harassment of editors in that topic area. You can always make requests on the talk page. You’ll also be able to edit directly if you make 500 edits to other pages. K.e.coffman is a good individual to reach out to for advice on contributing to this era on Wikipedia.
