Gaur
[edit]I have seen many people referring gaur as "Indian bison" and even on the internet so should I write "also known as the "Indian bison" or not? Eiehel (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Can you cite a reliable source? If yes, then do it and cite the source. If not, then no. It doesn't matter what you know or have heard, it matters what you can prove. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Edit
[edit]When you guys do restore revision to a certain edit and try to revert it what does it mean when you guys write "last best" in the summary? Eiehel (talk) 09:30, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- That means we are reverting to the last best version of the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:09, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I remembered 2 months ago where you had reverted two of my edits of them well for the hippo edit it was just a single word change while for the orca one I had added "literally" which was a helping word for the statement Eiehel (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry not "literally" it was "meaning" that was the word I had added for the orca edit Eiehel (talk) 14:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ok. So? - UtherSRG (talk) 15:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I wanted a reason why you reverted that Eiehel (talk) 16:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Constant reversions on the page List of ethnic groups in Nigeria
[edit]Hello UtherSRG I have a concern on the page List of ethnic groups in Nigeria there seems to be a user by the name of Da5ft9 who is constantly skewing the percentage figures on the side of the page by continually reverting percentage figures back to made up figures [[1]] the source which is supposed to support the figures is here [[2]] it states
"Ethnic groups Hausa 30%, Yoruba 15.5%, Igbo (Ibo) 15.2%, Fulani 6%, Tiv 2.4%, Kanuri/Beriberi 2.4%, Ibibio 1.8%, Ijaw/Izon 1.8%, other 24.9% (2018 est.)" and not
"Hausa (25%), Yoruba (21%), Igbo (18%), Fulani (6%), Ibibio (3.5%), Tiv (2.4%), Kanuri (2.4%), Ijaw (1.8%), Others (19.9%)"
since these new figures are not supported by any reliable sources it is in fact made up as such not factual I have given the user a warning multiple times [[3]] before reverting the information on the page back to the factual source [[4]] still, the user seems to not care as the user reverts the information back to the wrong figures again [[5]]. I was wondering if you could please help thank you. Bernadine okoro (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Sock blocks
[edit]Hi. I see that you blocked most of the suspects I raised in the Gilberatalessandro054 case, though the CU evidence didn't implicate them. Are you perhaps looking at further evidence not presented in the SPI? Because while I think the behavioural evidence was suspicious, it's far from conclusive, and as Spicy noted, it seems they might be meats rather than socks. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:21, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Paul 012: Spicy had indicate that all but two were Confirmed. I blocked based on that. Feel free to adjust. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:01, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Er, no, that's not what I said. I said there wasn't enough evidence to run a check on those accounts, let alone block them. Spicy (talk) 12:07, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Uther, could you advise why you undeleted revisions at File:Beverly Hills Cop - official franchise logo.png? I had already reviewed the request to move to Commons and rejected the PD-Simple claim. Given that File:Discord logo.svg was accepted for copyright protection, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Discord logo.svg closed quickly as delete, and that the paint spatter effect on "Cops" is more complicated that the design of "Clyde", I do not feel that it is appropriate to move this file to Commons. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Tagging Mdaniels5757 to keep discussion localized. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Also, Mdaniels, if you realize that something is disputed, per WP:BRD it is better to discuss things before you force your way through. Now instead of reaching a local consensus here we are forced to have parallel discussions. Your other two reverts of my reviews of requested undeletion requests had similar issues; I had to fix the source for the one logo per WP:V to show that it actually belonged to the company, and the other one we could have talked things over first. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:40, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492 Responding substantively at c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Beverly Hills Cop - official franchise logo.png. My intent certainly wasn't to force my way through, but rather to allow for us to discuss this image and the other three similar logos in one place (Commons), and then to either revert the local image to non-free (if deleted on Commons) or request it be deleted (if kept on Commons) depending on the outcome of that discussion. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- I was merely responding to a request at WP:RFU. Sorry if this caused a ruckus! - UtherSRG (talk) 16:25, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Mdaniels5757: I appreciate the desire to keep things centralized. That being said, communicating this intention is an important part of avoiding any potential misunderstandings. I would have been more than happy to undelete the Beverly Hills Cop images had you spoken with me, with reference to the Cyberpunk decision, and we'd agreed on things; at the same time, I would have been able to air my concerns vis-a-vis Clyde, recent discussion of the Cruis'n logo, and File:Disney Junior.svg, so that you could see where I was coming from. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492 Fair enough, that would have been a better decision on my part. My apologies. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @UtherSRG: No worries. I expect that there was some forum shopping going on, so I wanted to confirm rather than potentially wheelwar. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll sit back in my easy chair with a box of popcorn. :D - UtherSRG (talk) 16:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492 Actually I will push back a bit on the forum shopping accusation. I had (wrongly?) assumed that you had seen my request for undeletion, which predated your revert. There would have needed to be a discussion on Commons anyways for the other three similar images. I wouldn't favor a discussion on Commons over a local one out of favor or anything, I just thought it would be unproductive to have a second discussion. (Clearly that didn't work out, given we now have this discussion. :) Your approach would have been better. ) Apologies again, — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Mdaniels5757. I followed Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons with hidden file revisions, which I've been maintaining for about four months now, and did my due diligence prior to copying to Commons. That is why there were several requests by you that I actioned in a short period of time. Two were reverted overnight (my time zone), one which I addressed myself by providing a link to ensure that the logo actually belonged to the company in question and then copied to commons, the other I let slide because you rightly indicated the shift in TOO in 2023 (whereas in the era of the File:EDGE magazine (logo).svg precedent we would have likely been having this discussion earlier, as "two bars" vs. "four slanted edges" is not clear-cut). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
