en:Adumu

Please be bold and help translate this article!

Adumu, is a type of dance that the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania practice. Young Maasai warriors generally perform the energetic and acrobatic dance at ceremonial occasions including weddings, religious rites, and other significant cultural events. The Adumu dance is characterized by a sequence of jumps performed by the dancers, who stand in a circle and alternately jump while keeping their bodies as straight and upright as possible. In addition to wearing vividly colored shúkàs (clothes) and beaded jewelry, the dancers are typically clad in traditional Maasai costume. Traditional Maasai songs and chants are also performed during the dance.

You blocked I will punch Loki Laufeyson (God of Mischief) in the face for 1 week. Why not indefinite? It is an LTA, and regardless it is clearly a VOA, which I understand are both generally indeffed. Why? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 02:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very often, these accounts are 'single purpose', they are created on the spot, then people use them to vandalize until thry are blocked. When they come back, they'll use a different account (again, created for the purpose). In that context, blocking for a week is enough to make them think. We likely won't see that account again. Eptalon (talk) 07:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You might not know this, but this pretty clearly the Loki LTA, who has been vandalizing for like 6 weeks straight with like 40 accounts across multiple wikis. There's no point in allowing that account to ever be unblocked, as it won't ever be used for anything other than vandalism. This user has had plenty of blocks to think about. @Eptalon Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 13:23, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When the account is back in a week, it can still be blocked indefinitely. Eptalon (talk) 13:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know that. However this is an LTA who had made multiple attempts to game autoconfirmed whilst claiming to we Willy on Wheels. Given that, after the 1 week, they could make 4 edits and then be autoconfirmed, I think indeffing is needed.

As well, what purpose does not indeffing serve? This is a banned user who does nothing but cause trouble. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 16:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian, Are you aware that the account is globally locked ?, (if you're not then yeah it's globally locked and while I do agree with you Eptalon's block is pointless and meaningless to the highest degree - once the block here expires the account will still be globally-locked so thus still won't be able to edit anywhere on that account), Also global locks don't ever expire, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't originally, and I know locks are indef...but still for the future. @Davey2010 Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:46, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Admins do have leeway as to how they block. There is a downside to indeffed blocks. It also blocks that IP as long as the block is in place, as default, we can uncheck that box but it is defaulted to that. So if that is not a static IP then it can cause collateral damage. A lock does not involve the IP and therefore will not effect other users based on their IP. So if you feel it needs to be more a policy or guideline it may be better to bring it to a broader discussion than on an Admin's talk page. -- Enfcer (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Enfcer It is fine to block an account indefinitely, as autoblock only blocks the underlying IP address for 24 hours: mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgAutoblockExpiry. Any time the user tries to log in into the account, MediaWiki will block that IP as well for 24 hours. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 21:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fehufangą - Your right I forgot about that it auto blocked the most recent log in attempt IP for 24 hours, but for some reason I was thinking it was the last IP used, as far as blocking indefinitely I favor that, but just pointing out that Admins do have leeway on those blocks. -- Enfcer (talk) 22:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"we can uncheck that box but it is defaulted to that" - It isn't that hard to uncheck a box if you want, although I wouldn't suggest it here. And Fehufanga mentioned why it's fine.

"Admins do have leeway on those blocks" - Yes, I was asking why Eptalon decided to do something different. @Enfcer Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 02:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I explained above. And I think if this goes on much longer, my talk page isn't the right place. Besides, the account is globally locked now... Eptalon (talk) 05:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I explained why I don't think you should do that above. But, yes, ultimately it's locked, so nothing more to do here, please indef them in the future and report to SRG. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 13:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Is the content I added to pages like Fresno, California helpful, or is it not good for Simple Wikipedia? Also, what other things should I add? I want to make these pages not stubs anymore. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has requested deletion of Headlands and bays, a page you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the page meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Headlands and bays and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the page during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much.

Please be bold and help translate this article!

The Rathaus-Glockenspiel is a large mechanical clock located in Marienplatz Square, in the heart of Munich, Germany. Famous for its life-size characters, the clock twice daily re-enacts scenes from Munich's history. First is the story of the marriage of Duke Wilhelm V to Renata of Lorraine in 1568, followed by the story of the Schäfflerstanz, also known as the coopers' dance.

(Note) I added more accounts to this CU request. MathXplore (talk) 13:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, a user that you CU-blocked is requesting an unblock. As the most active CU, would you like to handle this? MathXplore (talk) 09:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MathXplore I have told the reason to the user and any ways he could be unblocked. Could you take a look.? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 10:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In general, CU-blocks can only be reviewed by CUs. MathXplore (talk) 10:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore, there is no reason for me to have a look. After the enwiki SPI I will request global locks to all involved accounts. MathXplore (talk) 10:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, okay. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 10:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! If the topic of "your" article, has some new relevance as of lately (or Aktualit_t), then please add that to the article or talk page. Thanks, 2001:2020:335:9257:5CDA:626F:26F4:72A9 (talk) 20:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

It isn't 'my article', and it also isn't my domain of knowledge. I created it in response to some comment. Anyone can create articles, anyone can edit them. So, if you think something is missing, be bold and add it Eptalon (talk) 20:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added the template about Oxocarbons (a topic that i am not likely to start).--If the template is of help to the article, then fine. 2001:2020:335:9257:5CDA:626F:26F4:72A9 (talk) 20:32, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Nederlandsche Cocaïnefabriek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈneːdərlɑntsə koːkaːˈinəfaːˌbrik]; English: Dutch Cocaine Factory) or NCF was an Amsterdam-based company producing cocaine for medical purposes in the 20th century. It imported its raw materials mainly from the Dutch East Indies and sold its products across Europe, making good profits especially in the early years of World War I. The NCF produced morphine, heroin and ephedrine as well.
