Possible to escalate a Wikipedia complaint about unsourced info to here?
Hello,
I mostly edit on English Wikipedia as that is my native language, but occasionally on Turkish Wikipedia. Occasionally I tag uncited info on Turkish Wikipedia and after a few weeks or months delete it, but for some years now another user has been undoing those deletes, contrary to the verifiabilty policy at https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipedi:Do%C4%9Frulanabilirlik
I complained at https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipedi:%C5%9Eik%C3%A2yet/Ar%C5%9Fiv/2023#Kaynaks%C4%B1z_%C5%9Feyler_geri_konuldu
but as you can see by using google translate my complaint was closed with waffle such as “It takes some experience to delete unsourced information. These processes require a comprehensive knowledge of Wikipedia policy and even subject-based expertise.”
The same user has continued reverting my deletes of info which has been tagged unsourced for months or years.
This is annoying and time consuming for me, but more importantly readers may be misled by wrong information, which could at best waste their time and at worst have bad consequences in the real world.
Any suggestions? Chidgk1 (talk) 07:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Personal CV and profile on Meta?
Hi all, being quite unfamiliar with Meta I wondered if this user (?) page is within the scope of the project: Jairo Antonio Navarro Ramirez. Till.niermann (talk) 11:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- It is not, I deleted it, thanks for the notice. --MF-W 11:53, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Block error
When I try to log in to commons it says Zindra Lord is blocked from editing. I am not he/she/it. Music Air BB (talk) 13:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- They were blocked on Commons so they have created a sock puppet account which is acting in the same way as Zindra Lord now. And has written some extremely creepy things about that subject. Perhaps an investigation is in order for this account. 2600:8800:1E96:E900:2E42:34C2:5C:2904 10:36, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

- You may need to be clearer to get a good answer. Which Wiki in particular? What does "officially" mean in this case? Generally speaking, c:Category:Wikipedia icons may get you started. Commander Keane (talk) 21:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
