or INTRISIT for short!!!

Wikipedia being as neutral and factual as can be since its creation on 15 January 2001 has grown into a stealthy yet important voluntary cultural phenomenon and has exploded in ways no one thought of. Websites and info come and go over time, but with the inter-collaboration with the Internet Archive and its flagship asset, the Wayback Machine, well-referenced info posted and stuck in here for decades and decades to come might just resurrect former faulty and/or irreparable human lives! You may never know!!

Since I entered myself in here on WP on the last minute of 27 March 2022, I've been monitoring and still continue to monitor articles and info created and/or maintained by proven sock-puppets, blocked/banned users, conflict of interest enthusiasts and spammers in here — some promising, others useful and also the non-useful ones have been converted as such so they could fit in.

Milestones
[edit]

1. Until my account creation, the article under the "Barbie (film series)" title housed the info on films and other media linked with or connected to Barbie here until Bianca Anne Martins moved it to "Barbie (franchise)" on 2 July 2022 in the wake of the creation of my first-ever article, Barbie: It Takes Two, earlier that year on 16 April. Ever since previous users, whether currently-inactive, blocked or banned, have had their inputs structured in a way that would to this day question the validity of that title standing the test of time, I and Bianca Anne Martins have civilly argued about the new title, through which I invoked my second requested move to send the article back to the "Barbie (franchise)" article so as to conform with the other similar articles like "Toy Story (franchise)", "Frozen (franchise)" and "High School Musical (franchise)". Lockejava (currently inactive) and TheFallenPower stressed that the "Barbie (franchise)" title should focus on the expansion of dolls and accessories related to Barbie, thus agreeing to redirect the title instead to the current agreed unified target of "List of Barbie's friends and family". TheFallenPower moved the article again to "Barbie (film franchise)" and Bianca herself then moved it to the final title, "Barbie (media franchise)". I briefly revived the "Barbie (film series)" article twice only for Bianca to revert them both. Still unsatisfied and relatively new to the village pump at the time, I invoked my first and to date only request for comment so as to get her attention on her actions. The result was her decision to revive a former used title, list of Barbie films, as the new location for the article on solely the films with plot summaries. According to page histories, the "list of Barbie films" title is one of 2 titles, along with the "Barbie films" titles, conveniently created by Frog47 as redirects to the article under the "Barbie film series" title, which was then moved by Woodensuperman to "Barbie (film series)" per WP:NCF. Currently, all 3 aforementioned titles redirect to the article now at the "List of Barbie films" title, as well as currently un-notable Barbie films whose current/former state/looks don't conform/comply with WP:NF.

2. Disambiguation and its primary topic rule are paramount here on WP for ambiguity reasons among visitors and newer users. Here are 4 reasons to justify why:

  • When I first became aware of "Rainbow High" on YouTube prior to my account creation, I came here to check whether or not it had an entry. Instead, I found an article with that title about a novel/book by Alex Sanchez. I had to search for "Rainbow High MGA" before I could get the actual title. That made me move the then-primary topic to its current location and invoke my first requested move, which rather ended up with the "Rainbow High" title getting DABbed.
  • A currently-blocked user (MegaSmike46) invoked two actions which got some members of the Wikipedia community puzzled; first up, the "Disney Media Networks" entry that he/she moved it to "Disney Media Networks (original division)" with the rationale being "for preservation" and Paramount Television to "Paramount Television (original)" with the rationale being to "clear up confusion". I reverted the former to where it should be as I saw no other article with that name and imposed a G6 deletion tag on MegaSmike46's title which got deleted and did same for the latter, but an admin (Primefac) declined it as he saw no reason for a deletion.
  • Until the completed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in 2019, Walt Disney Television stayed put as an article on its own, but Disney (officially The Walt Disney Company) returned to using that name after 16 years leading to an article title realignment, with the production company article moved to its disambiguated article title and the pre-2019 "Disney-ABC Television Group" article moved to that title. After just 2 years, more division/segment reorganizations were announced by Disney whether in-house or outside sources, with the title changed to the current Disney General Entertainment Content in 2021. Two requested moves were invoked for a title change, but came to no consensus due to Disney's publicized post-COVID-19 malays. My second requested move and the article's 4th overall resulted in a WP:COMMONNAME move to its current title. However, my second RMTR request to send the production company article back to its former base title felt contentious by Skarmory, with Sam Sailor invoking a contested RM on it which saw no support or opposition for 14 days, despite a relist by Buidhe. A page mover (ModernDayTrilobite) closed and moved it.
  • The "League One" page was moved to "Football League One" by JMHamo as he saw that an English user was biased at moving the article to suit his geographical location as the primary topic. The League One DAB page was created A bit iffy in 2013 and moved by Robertsky to its base title at my first of many RMTR requests.
  • The info about the first incarnation of CBS Corporation is currently resided under Westinghouse Electric Corporation with the second CBS Corporation having its own article. Looking at the "Evolution of Paramount (Global)" mini-template, the first CBS Corporation was coincidentally rebranded in 1997 from the same Westinghouse which bought the CBS network 24 months earlier, but whoever looks for the first CBS Corp will either be directed to the topic section of the Westinghouse article or the article itself. His move reminded me of past Wikipedians/editors who attempted to reorganize coverage of articles relating to the first News Corporation and the second/current News Corp as they were both "News Corporation" with the first coming from 1980 to 2013 and the second since 2013.
  • Following on from the previous entry/point, I've been hard at work on using WP:MALPLACED or manual means to help in the numerous WP DAB conundrums that may pop up from anywhere, including La República and San-Pédro, which needed invoking of RMs which ended up unsatisfactorily dead. For the former entry, it was on MALPLACED which Dekimasu opposed due to its relevance relative to numerous Google Search tests and for the latter, San-Pédro (now at San-Pédro, Ivory Coast), was on unnecessary DAB as compared to the San Pedro DAB page. Like point 3 below, I had the opportunity to pull down 162 etc.'s reversal request to the "Contested" section at RMTR shortly after Polyamorph granted and executed my initial request. No wonder if possible, unless someone warns me, I'll drop whatever request at RMTR to the "Contested" section so as to banish those memories as I see them as missed opportunities.

3. On 10 January 2023, I came across the 5th-interface homepage of CAFOnline.com website owned and operated by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). I felt I had a glorious chance of updating pages and archived currently-dead links to articles connected and related to the CAF competitions, including the African Nations Championship, the Women's Africa Cup of Nations and the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations. So far, I've archived up to 200 links, half of which I did myself. As cruel as WP:Link rot makes clear, in anticipation of the then-upcoming 2023-24 season in line with other competitions globally, CAF updated/upgraded/modified their website on 25 July 2023. As much as I was and still angry at myself for not archiving every speck of link from that interface until then, it makes me wonder why WP:There is a deadline exists even though WP:Deadline will mostly be cited. The most affected article stemming from my anger in question is the 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.

What to expect from me in 2024!
[edit]

1. Monster High had numerous articles on its web series and its films (List of Monster High films), the latter serving as the current target for all but 3 active standalone out of 17 overall entries, excluding Monster High: The Movie and Monster High 2 as they are recent ones. The primary reason for a redirection of this former articles to the list article is the non-existent inclusion of references/refs for standalone notability, just like Bovineboy2008's assertions on some articles on Barbie films. From 3 January until the end of this year, expect this to change as I'll have them back on WP with refs to show for them.

2. Speaking of and returning to the scope on Barbie films, with the launch of the Ruffle software on the Internet Archive, I have another chance at bringing back information, websites and refs not previously added to them in-article to do just that that I ain't going to pass up!! Even articles which were created with nothing in them which are also currently redirects to their entries at the "List of Barbie films" article will have their rightful standalone places in this project.

3. On the scope of CAFOnline and articles on African football competitions for the 1995 to 2023 time frame, expect me to be more active in them! Whether a revival or resurrection.

4. As many visitors and Wikipedians with whatever user rights can agree with me, internet access, especially the lucrative broadband, is a serious challenge outside North America, Europe, China and Australia. I feel that the 2022 introduction of broadband in my geographic location (geolocation) in this awareness era makes me help out the Countering Systemic Bias WikiProject as one of the few Africans to improve WP articles.

HAPPY 2024, WIKIPEDIA!!!
