:I am afraid there is very little that can be done there. I understand your motivation - that a bot which is inactive and is blocked does not reflect well on its owner - but I am afraid it is not going to be accepted here. The easiest of probably to think of a reasonable task, get it approved via the appropriate process, and then get the bot unblocked.

::Хорошо, что вы скажете о таком процессе? Этот бот - переименовывающий файлы на Складе, и блокировка мешает ему после переименования заменить включения файла не только в анвики, но и во всех разделах, алфавитно идущих после en: см.

:::Я всё ещё не понимаю, почему нельзя провести бота через стандартный процесс одобрения. Это решит все проблемы. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 07:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

::::На каковом процессе я скажу... что? Вот это, про переименования? Я кроме этого не планирую ботоправить анвики, и я, по опыту рувики, искренне не понимаю, почему блок не снят на одном этом основании. Реально - бессрочный блок за '''одну ошибочно совершённую правку''' без намерения дальше их совершать это нечто невообразимо немыслимое.

:It seems the same person is adding such figures to the infobox now. For example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Izium&diff=prev&oldid=1245948472 here] they just use a rough estimate of 25,000 by Ukrainska Pravda. Should these edits be reverted?

==LGBTQ categories ==

Line 581 ⟶ 592:

Do you know what is going on with this speedy renaming? We have [[:Category:Greek LGBTQ people by century]] and [[:Category:Serbian LGBTQ people by century]] on the empty categories list but it looks like this category move was premature. Should they be moved back? The CFD bot didn't move articles to the new category pages (they are sitting in redirect categories), just moved the category pages. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 23:50, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

:The move was objected and a move review request was filed when some of the categories already have been speedy moved. Now we need to wait until the review request has been resolved, but I do not think we need to move anything back before that. I will have a look at these specific cats later today. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 02:29, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

== I've also posted about this on [[User talk:Muboshgu]] but HELP ==

Please take a look at the wholesale blanking of article talk pages [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nythar here]. Per [[WP:ARCHIVENOTDELETE]] this isn't at all correct is it? I've left a note on this editor's user talk but am concerned about the sheer number of blankings they've done. - [[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]] ([[User talk:Shearonink|talk]]) 16:41, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

:Let us see what they respond, they have not edited since the discussion at their talk page was opened. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 16:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

== Kyrgyzstan ==

I have noticed you have edited in this area before, particularly subdivisions, and now there is an IP again replacing the Kyrgyz name in Cyrillic with Latin script and also removing Russian translations, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Old_Square,_Bishkek&diff=prev&oldid=1244988462 this] edit. In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ministry_of_the_Interior_(Kyrgyzstan)&diff=prev&oldid=1245108535 this] edit they also replace this with Latin script and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Osh_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1245163096 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naryn_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1245162942 here] for subdivisions they just remove the Russian translations. I don't think anything has changed in this regard, has it? [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 18:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:No, Kyrgyz is currently written in Cyrillic, everything can be rolled back. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 18:25, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks for confirming. I have reverted them a few times already such as on [[Osh Region]] but they just continue to restore their changes. [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 18:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:::Probably they need to be warned and then blocked. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 18:58, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

::::I asked them to stop removing translations [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:193.106.250.55&diff=prev&oldid=1244970096 yesterday] but they did not respond and this seems to have had zero effect. Do they need another warning? [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 19:03, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::I now made it more clear, let us see what happens. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 19:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

::::::I also noticed that the same editor in the same IP range is making similar edits in Kazakhstan-related articles e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Almaty_Botanical_Garden&diff=prev&oldid=1245199277 this] yesterday and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arkalyk&diff=prev&oldid=1245339983 this] today (which does not follow the title). [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 13:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::::Clearly the same user; I blocked the second IP, a full revert is probably needed. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 16:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

::::::::Some good people blocked the range for 3 years. Now we need to revert. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 17:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::::::I have reverted some of their recent edits, they made a few hundred edits recently. [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 18:02, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::::::Does [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mongolia%E2%80%93Russia_border&diff=prev&oldid=1247084720 this] look like the same person? Another proxy, same interest in pronunciation/translations in same area, and the IP range is blocked on metawiki. [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 10:27, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

::::::::::Yes, it is probably the same. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 18:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

== Typo ==

[[User:Hey man im josh]]'s nomination of [[:Category:People from Sukhum Okrug]] to [[:Category:People from Sukhum okrug]] may contain a typo, I think it should be [[:Category:People from Sukhumi okrug]]. It has just been moved for processing. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 18:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks, it is not a typo, but I agree it should be consistent. I will take it to CFDS now. [[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter#top|talk]]) 18:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

::@[[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]]: I was just trying to downcase the "Okrung" part of the title to match the article, I had not actually realized that the name of the article itself had changed along with the capitalization with it moved. So, while "Sukhum okrug" was my intended target, your suggestion is more appropriate and I'm glad to see it's been tagged.
