舉告人 提斯切里已撤回舉告案，閣下為何仍處本人禁制？

WP:管理員布告板/其他不當行為/存檔/2024年10月#Chinuan12623提斯切里於2024年10月2日舉告本人］，內有人參論，E、千村管二人也有論述，但未做處分。內有人威脅其他管理人要處分本人，則可提選為行政員。又有人消遣誣我用匿名發言欲提查核（後自認為不似，而中止）。

八至十月多次爭議，起因為了將王必勝之「不當男女關係」改為「婚外情」事實詞（後也採共識改了 婚外情），自由、提斯、薏仁在期間濫發廿次警版，舉告十次，E管也將由由、提斯、本人曾做過互動禁制。閣下也曾將自由、夲人禁編該條目若時，但遭自由質疑。渠等多人類似維基霸凌，主動找E、千村管處理爭議，確又質疑該處，這些不很離𧪽嗎，欲加之罪何患無詞。

此提告，原提告人提斯切里2024年10月6日在舉告末段明示-「經過考量後，此次 撤回請求」。但閣下仍處分夲人一個月的多重禁制，連討論頁也禁，致本人無法陳申。

雖禁制期已止，然閣下應予說明，在維基不論提告、選罷，提案人若已撤案，管理員仍可視而不見，執處到底嗎？同理，法院民事提訟已撤案，法官仍無視，就是要執判，那是違法的。

若閣下是未見提斯「已提撤案」之訴，而為他人誤導，夲人諒悉不再述之。Chinuan12623（留言） 2024年11月7日 (四) 05:14 (UTC)

我不是法官--百無一用是書生 (☎) 2024年11月8日 (五) 12:43 (UTC)

是喻，不需官式回。管理員就是仲裁職，是在請教閣下有否見提斯「已提撤案」之訴文？若未見而誤處，事已過我知即可。若已見而仍執處，其理據何在？爾後管理員也都可如此？Chinuan12623（留言） 2024年11月8日 (五) 13:04 (UTC)

（此段內容從ANM複製過來）我的理解是，即使提報人做出撤回請求，還是以管理員的判定為主。雖然我後來想假定善意，但書生管理員檢視過後判定違反禁制了，而且大部分的意見確實是認為不當，改善討論也未見有效，因此書生管理員的處理沒有問題。--提斯切里（留言） 2024年11月8日 (五) 16:38 (UTC)

有關User:進階的無處的封禁

書生君，今天發現到User:進階的無處被閣下封禁一個月，原因是編輯戰和破壞。但我認為封禁的時間過長，而編輯戰方針明文規定：初次違反回退不過三原則者一般封禁24小時。在此我向閣下提問，就是問一下這個封禁是否合理。

另外請閣下好好看看論述管理員不是什麼，有一些內容翻譯自英文版（如果沒有擴充情況可能會更糟）。涉及封禁的內容摘錄如下：

封禁是管理員可以執行的最具爭議的行為之一，被認為是一件非常嚴重的事情。不當的封禁可能會導致您不受社群知名成員的歡迎，並且在這種情況下，您可能會遭到明顯的人身攻擊。在某些情況下，不良的封禁實施記錄可能會導致管理員被解職。

--Shwangtianyuan 不忘初心 牢記使命 2024年11月7日 (四) 16:21 (UTC)

因為該用戶在林俊傑條目的問題已經很長時間了，所以我認為一個月不算長--百無一用是書生 (☎) 2024年11月8日 (五) 12:40 (UTC)

了解。我屆時會把此回復轉告給他。--Shwangtianyuan 不忘初心 牢記使命 2024年11月8日 (五) 12:46 (UTC)

Did you know?

• Query examples:
  • Recently edited lexemes since 'DATE' (in this case Danish since 01.11.2024)
  • List films shot by filming location - try changing the wd: Wikidata item to another country, city, or even a building or natural location.
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Suriname Public Art - public artworks and memorials in Suriname
  • HDF - A WikiProject for work underway at the The HDF Group (Q106509427) to connect HDF data with Wikidata.
  • French Literary Prizes - Aims to coordinate the development of a database on French literary prizes (prize list, jury members, list of winners). In 2008, Bertrand Labes listed more than 1,500 French-speaking literary prizes. To date, Wikidata has 709, including 24 including the list of winners and awarded works.
• Newest database reports: Languages with the most lexemes without senses (using Toolforge tool 'Orthohin')
• Showcase Items: Rembrandt (Q5598) - Dutch painter and printmaker (1606–1669)
• Showcase Lexemes: ਜੀਵਣ/جِیوَݨ (L740318) - 'life' in Punjabi

Development

• Lua: We changed the Wikibase function getAllStatements logic to behave as getBestStatements. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (phab:T270851)
• Wikibase REST API:
  • Wikibase REST API is now on version 1!
  • We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
• Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
• mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
• Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

• Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
• Contribute to the showcase Item and Lexeme above.
• Summarize your WikiProject's ongoing activities in one or two sentences.
• Help translate or proofread the interface and documentation pages, in your own language!
• Help merge identical items across Wikimedia projects.

關於周朝補充被回退

請教回退原因是為什麼?有些內容是需要修正或補充的。例如吳國的起源，還有宜侯夨簋的解讀，都需要修正。--111.241.179.143（留言） 2024年11月20日 (三) 13:14 (UTC)

目前條目是FA，您的修改明顯降低了條目品質，要麼就不要降低條目品質，要麼你就在草稿頁編輯--百無一用是書生 (☎) 2024年11月21日 (四) 02:49 (UTC)

請問是怎麼明顯降低了條目品質? 覺得說明清楚才知道是哪裡要修正。我確實看到有需要補充或修正的地方，不然之後又會被其他人拿去退FA。這個條目是2017年過FA，到現在有些已經過時了，都需要花費時間跟精力調整。--111.241.134.216（留言） 2024年11月22日 (五) 14:59 (UTC)
