Minimodding from Circuit Breaker Cue
Why has this user been messaging administrators on Community Central to tell them they may be at risk of losing their rights due to inactivity?

I thought that people were already discussing this in a forum post. Castlemore (talk) 08:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Also, regarding the same user, if you check Special:Editcount, only 20% of his edits are even on the wiki itself while 80% are on forums, talk pages and templates, so he is clearly not actually contributing anything to the website productively, and may be breaking the editing policy. Castlemore (talk) 08:30, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delaney Wang should have been banned from this wiki ages ago for his constantly ridiculous, attention-seeking, time-wasting and non-productive behaviour on this wiki. I don't think he ever makes useful contributions to the wiki (editing articles, discussions about articles etc.), he only posts irrelevant and nonsensical things, seems to claim he has more power than what he has (he has none) and threatens to report people to Fandom for minor offenses or hurting his feelings. And when we call him out on it, he creates an "alternative" (sock) account to attempt to cover up his old history; that does not work. If someone has genuine issues, a trivial website where people simply come to have fun is not the place, we are not online therapists. RedWizard98 (talk) 13:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- An official warning should be issued to him, and if the actions continue, administrative measures may need to be taken. I suggest giving him a chance to align his edits with the editing policy. If he fails to comply by the end of the year, a short-term block should be considered for breaching the policy.
- Responding RedWizard's message: I strongly oppose. I do not believe Delaney should be banned for such reasons. He is not vandalising, causing disruptions, or violating any policies, so a block is unwarranted. I recommend you seeking more constructive ways to discuss these issues rather than constantly proposing to block the user in question, as that could be seen as a violation of our NPA guidelines. - Peregino (talk)

- Seconded. From everything I've seen, their behaviour isn't 'attention-seeking', it's just misguided attempts at helping. Additionally, to address Castlemore's original post, I think the Editing Policy isn't exactly the best. A user is able to contribute to the wiki by doing other things than making mainpage edits. To draw from a real-world example, judicial review is an important part of the legal process, as it allows other legal professionals to maintain a high standard. Now whilst I'm not sayin this is what Delaney is doing, I do think the Editing Policy should be updated from it's current black-and-white view of 'good' editing. AD Vortigern (talk to me) 22:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- While I want to assume good faith here, these seem to be very nit-picky reports. No policy states that users cannot issue warnings or reminders- there are many templates that serve this exact purpose. And for what it's worth, if you look at the break down of my editing you can see I am not technically in alignment with that editing policy either. As long as there is no personal attacks, vandalism, or disruptions involved, I don't see the issue. Harrypotterexpert101 Talk 09:00, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- He is not following Harry Potter Wiki:Editing Policy, which says your primary contributions to the site should be the enhancement of articles and discussions, not endless edits on your user page or talk pages. That is literally all he is here to do and all he has ever done. I cannot recall one useful contribution from any of his accounts. While I don't think him contacting the admins whose positions are up for discussions is an offence, it is totally irrelevant (since both have already been contacted) and most of the time, he is "warning" us about things that are of no issue or threat to the wiki. Does anybody seriously think he is here to contribute to articles and help build a wiki or ramble incessantly about nonsense because he thinks he can? Fandom is not an online therapy group. RedWizard98 (talk) 11:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- And the fact that only 20% of his edits are on the actual wiki itself. Claiming victimhood should not be a reasonable exemption. Plus Harrypotterexpert101, you make other useful contributions to the wiki, even if you don't edit articles very much, whereas his behaviour has always been purely disruptive. RedWizard98 (talk) 13:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
I will say, I kinda appreciate the energy the has in his posession. Regarding the original message posted by Castlemore, it was brought up in a forum post, mainly Forum:Ironyak 1's activity, and any efforts should have been coordinated there as well as kept on the HPWiki, instead of adding an additional message over on the Community Central Wiki. Also, the text written at Harry Potter Wiki:User Policy says in the first sentence that the the policy encourages edits to articles. SeichanGrey (talk) 14:27, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Being active in discussions is also acceptable, but if you're editing the main wiki, you are supposed to mainly edit actual articles. RedWizard98 (talk) 15:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Could someone please archive this topic? It’s the very first result to show up on Google Search again, when I typed in “FANDOM requests for administrator attention” the other day for a different wiki. Thank you, –
Delaney My Message Wall 19:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Also quite honestly, I really have no idea why RedWizard keeps making such unsupported claims that I make absolutely 0 useful contributions to the wiki at all, because, for instance, these are indeed useful edits to the wiki. Adding links is another productive form of contributing―Castlemore himself said it. –
Delaney My Message Wall 05:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Most likely because, despite some of your edits being helpful, the majority of them are not. In fact, only 16% of your contributions involve main articles, while the remaining 84% are focused on talk pages, forums, and templates. I suggest it’s time to change your way of contributing if you want to avoid becoming the target of unsupported claims. - Peregino (talk) 07:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Editing one or two articles (with very minor changes at best) is hardly useful editing while over 84% of your edits are not article edits. 84% is actually quite shocking and a clear violation of editing policy. So, my "claims" are not "unsupported", they are truthful and fair. Such a shame Delaney Wang's own claims about me and others are entirely bogus. This is not supposed to be a general online forum for expressing your thoughts. RedWizard98 (talk) 10:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

User has always had a very poor editing style and has never responded to a single talk page message in years. RedWizard98 (talk) 19:39, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

It is time to hand a block for adding false information. SeichanGrey (talk) 14:11, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Content from Claudio Rodríguez's article contained obviously facetious content, written by this person. RedWizard98 (talk) 17:54, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Bump. RedWizard98 (talk) 12:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
User blog:VenuciatheEarthling/On The Way to Hogwarts
Can user blogs be Harry Potter fan fictions? RedWizard98 (talk) 12:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- No, they cannot. I have already issued a warning to the user who posted the blog. - Peregino (talk)
12:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- So this blog needs to be deleted then under "off-topic blogs"? RedWizard98 (talk) 12:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Done by SeichanGrey. - Peregino (talk) 13:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Asqlyt
Ignoring warnings about vandalism. RedWizard98 (talk) 22:03, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Might be a sockpuppet of someone here, check user's IP address to confirm. A lot of socks don't respond in order to hide their wording based off of their main account. –
Delaney My Message Wall 02:34, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Why are you asking this wiki's admins to do an IP check? That is not something an admin can do. If you want to request an IP check, you must request Fandom do it. Plus, you have claimed this is a sock puppet of a pre-existing account, but have not identified which account. RedWizard98 (talk) 02:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- The comment above is unhelpful and utterly speculative. FYI, many editors do not respond to talk page messages because they simply do not wish to communicate, or are ignorant of how to do so. There is no indication of sock puppetry unless evidence is shown. RedWizard98 (talk) 04:10, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
ToffyFloffy
Politically motivated vandalism-only account who is clearly not here to contribute constructively. RedWizard98 (talk) 15:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- User is literally changing content to disgusting swear words and inserting things about Nazism and gay topics, which are FAR from the content of Harry Potter! User definitely needs to be banned for good –
Delaney My Message Wall 10:58, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I've reported that above. Why has this obvious Harry Potter hating vandal not blocked? I could not think of anyone more in need of an indefinite ban. And why has this not been officially responded to for over a week? RedWizard98 (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- I’ll bring up this incident to George and Kim should the admins here ultimately refuse to take any action, the next time this problematic user vandalizes pages or spams. –

- No offense, Delaney, but you need to stop reporting local issues to the Fandom staff. Local issues are meant to be resolved within the local community platform. Other than that, I agree with RW98. This was reported eleven days ago, yet nothing has been done. What's going on with the administrative system? - Peregino (talk) 23:25, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

- What is "going on with the administrative system" is that there is only 1 active admin right now, and he has a busy personal life. When this user was making those edits, I was away on holiday. By the time I had got back to my computer, the vandalism had stopped two days earlier. 5 edits over the course of 14 minutes, and nothing else for 10 days. This user is clearly not going to come back anyway. Some things are just not worth making a song and dance over. If they return, I will block them. - MrSiriusBlack Talk 23:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- And I respect that, having a real life is much more important than editing this website. It's only trivia at the end of the day. RedWizard98 (talk) 01:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
The Star Wars wiki has 17 FULLY ACTIVE admins (not even close to half of all wikis on FANDOM have reached 10!), and that’s how HPW should be regarding admins. And while I’m not criticizing the wiki for it’s lack of authority-possessed users on this wiki (and I do apologize for having to mention yet another irrelevant wiki to ours), I am indeed pointing out that things would be resolved much quicker and HPW would run more smoothly this way, just saying. –
Delaney | My Message Wall 01:33, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- I count 14 admins on Star wars Wiki, 2 of them being bots of existing admins and 1 as the abuse filter (which is a system software). SeichanGrey (talk) 02:40, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- On this wiki, I believe having three administrators and three content moderators will be sufficient. - Peregino (talk) 09:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Bubby1234
Fabricating and falsifying information about the Weasley twins. RedWizard98 (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Also he’s voicing his personal opinions in the edit summaries about characters, which is strictly against the NPOV policy; users should only be citing factual evidence. Not to mention he wants us to ask J.K. Rowling for clarification, in which we all have ZERO obligation to get in touch with the creator of the series! –

- Am I alone in thinking Delaney Wang is perhaps overreacting to issues raised here. RedWizard98 (talk) 01:23, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Due to the fact that no one else seems to think I’m overreacting, I daresay you are alone, I’m afraid. –

- Agreed Red. Castlemore (talk) 08:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with RW that you, Delaney, often make a big deal out of something minor — or even nothing — though it’s done with good intentions. The community appreciates that you’re trying to help, but sometimes you also take it too far beyond your authority, like reporting local issues to the global Fandom staff. - Peregino (talk) 08:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

- Oh I daresay Delaney Wang... it looks your poor attempt at sounding witty and insightful has backfired, has it not? Stop being so overdramatic, not everything is about you. I'm starting to find the nature of these responses disruptive. RedWizard98 (talk) 11:43, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Calm down, Red. I understand that Delaney is being somewhat inappropriate, but keep in mind that he acted with good intentions. Instead of saying something unnecessarily harsh like "not everything is about you", try making your message less aggressive and more reflective to help him understand. Otherwise, it might end up reflecting poorly on you. Also, if this discussion really needs to continue, I suggest starting a new section. This should be about Bubby after all, not about Delaney. - Peregino (talk) 12:40, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

HarryisMyHero8
The editing policy explicitly states that a user is allowed to edit their user pages only up to a maximum of fifteen percent of their total contributions. However, it is evident that HarryisMyHero8, who primarily contributes to the main sections of the wiki and does not participate in the discussion threads, has exceeded this limit by editing over 50 percent of their total contributions.
I am notifying the community that I will address this issue with the user and provide them with time to make the necessary adjustments. If their user page edits do not fall below the 15 percent threshold within seven days, I will notify them and proceed to protect their user page 24 hours after the notification, which will occur eight days from now. Thank you. - Peregino (talk) 10:58, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Trainbot20091
Ignoring talk page messages about image uploads and not writing with an in-universe style. RedWizard98 (talk) 04:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- "Please leave my talk page alone, RedWizard98. Go away." said the user after removing the warnings he was given on their talk page. - Peregino (talk) 16:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Lol, what a juvenile response. Some people cannot handle criticism, can they? RedWizard98 (talk) 17:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I look at this user again, and interestingly, I see an exact replica of myself from two years ago. He’s getting better at understanding how things work, just like I did. If we’re nice to him and treat him like a learning editor instead of being a troublemaker, I think he can become a productive user the community appreciated. - Peregino (talk) 03:24, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

CynTheGoober
The user kept blanking the J.K. Rowling article and replacing it with transgender rights content until I stopped the edit warring by protecting the article and issuing a warning to cease vandalism. The troublesome user quickly responded with "Nuh uh", refusing to follow the policies and make peace. An indefinite or long-term ban is highly required, urgently. - Peregino (talk) 06:15, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- 1 week block applied. Done for now. - MrSiriusBlack Talk 11:17, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
