Initially locked by you, ten years ago -in 2015- when articles for musicians were not as favored on Wikipedia. There is a fledged out French article these days but the English version of this article remains locked. it'd sure be appreciated if you could take another look, @C.Fred!

@Teddy error Create a draft of the article, and I'll take a look at that. —C.Fred (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to. I've translated and cleaned up the existing article and published a community draft. Teddy error (talk) 23:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have noted you have fixed some pages I have been alinged with, thanks in advance. I'm currently seeking assistance for the stoppage of a certain user from a term toward me that is unwelcomed. My stance is that its a slur, perhaps not the correct term, could be defered to as something else, but none the less its not welcomed. I don't feel the need another user needs to label me as such. Assistance to stop this would be greatly appreciated. PukeHoopster81 (talk) 00:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PukeHoopster81 It may have been suboptimal word choice, but I don't think it rises to the level of a slur, particularly since there are some more innocuous meanings that were equally likely, if not more likely. —C.Fred (talk) 00:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'd like to request protection reduction for the Marvel Animated Universe redirect. It has been nearly four years since this protection was enacted in August 2020. The primary editor involved in prolonging the edit war over this article, NoobMaster05, has not been involved in any editing since the protection and has not edited anywhere outside of articles related to this, nor have they shown any signs of returning and has not edited the alternate redirect, Marvel animated universe. This protection no longer seems necessary, though some semi- or extended protection may still be necessary to prevent further disruptions from occurring. I would like a reduced protection so I can more adequately monitor this redirect and ensure it is updated accordingly. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trailblazer101 If the redirect had been changed (properly) in the last four years, I'd think there's a need to reduce protection. However, if there hasn't been, I'm not seeing the net gain. —C.Fred (talk) 00:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would like to update it in accordance with Marvel animated universe, although I was not able to because it was swiftly protected. I fail to see the need for admin-only protection when a sightly lesser option could suffice as there has been no repeat offenders to this redirect. Trailblazer101 (talk) 01:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trailblazer101 I've bumped it down to indef semi. Holler if I need to change it back. —C.Fred (talk) 01:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Geometric construction of Metallic Ratios with Right Triangles is someone else's contribution: Page No. 33 of following paper : https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chetansing-Rajput/publication/348555204_Golden_Ratio/links/600fdd18299bf14088c0cea8/Golden-Ratio.pdf?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIn19

Previously there was whole section of Geometric construction on the Wiki page of Metallic Means along with proper reference, which has been mischievously removed and now the Geometric Construction with Right Triangles' is been exploited without proper citation, which is nothing but the plagiarism. Wikipedia can not exploit anybody's contribution without proper citation. Do the needful. 152.58.33.17 (talk) 22:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing that the text of the paper has been copied. If the idea originated in Rajput's paper, then they should be attributed. —C.Fred (talk) 22:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the IP for block evasion, as are all the other IPs in that range, but there was too much collateral damage to block the /18 range.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
