The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | ||
In recognition of your vigilance and speed in dealing with vandals. “Admin material” describes you well! Tesseractive ( talk) 00:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC) |
Hi :) Thank you for your contributions. When your account is automatically confirmed, you might be interested in trying this tool: WP:Twinkle - it can be enabled as a "Gadget" in your preferences and will make the relatively tedious work of using the "undo" command, manually selecting the last revision before vandalism, finding a good template and adding it to the user's talk page, much easier.
When I saw the Anti-Vandalism barnstar by "Tesseractive", I noticed that "Tesseract" is just another word for "Hypercube" and might seem to have been only registered to deliver this barnstar to your userpage. You are allowed to use multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia, but this should not be used in a way that could be considered " sockpuppetry". I'm honestly sorry if I am wrong, but I'll dare to ask this question - did you register both SemiHypercube and Tesseractive? ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 19:42, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
{{User_alternative_account_banner|SemiHypercube}}
to the user page of Tesseractive to easily solve the situation, if it would be your account. But I was probably wrong. Please disregard my message.

Hi SemiHypercube. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 ( talk) 00:35, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 11:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

Those edits were nothing but the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:B12F:F6D:59C4:1E57:65D3:698C ( talk) 13:31, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I reverted your edit because you can't argue a merge by adding a note to an archived case. The best way to do it in the future is to approach a member of the SPI team who is familiar with at least one of the cases and explain what you think should be done and why. That said, your edit got my attention, and you're right. I will ask a clerk to merge the two. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Venba, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I added some references to Garfi (cat). You may want to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Garfi (cat). Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 03:48, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{ wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox ( talk) 01:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Please stop reporting so many users with no edits. The mere presence of words like “fart” or “sex” are not enough to block someone who has not even attempted to edit. Again, we only block the worst of the worst without waiting for them to edit. Beeblebrox ( talk) 01:02, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
The same goes for “bot” usernames. Beeblebrox ( talk) 02:44, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, SemiHypercube. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
I am not accusing Administrators as a whole as forming a cabal. There are some corrupt Administrators who treat their friends in an unequal fashion. They have backchannel communications that are alluded to in their front facing comments. I monitor a bunch of Admins talk pages, not out of suspicion but because I have had interactions with them. I don't bother to turn it off after it has blown over because on wikipedia you really never know when something has blown over. I have a memory of the ones I have had unjust responses from. Those seem to be the same ones with the suspicious talk entries both inbound and outbound. It is obvious these Admins take care of their own, to the detriment of the world knowledge project of wikipedia. I know who not to take a problem to and I do vote based on that information. If I sound cynical and jaded about Administrators as a whole, it is because these rotten apples spoil the whole bunch. I've also had positive interactions with Administrators and have my list of who I would trust to go to with an issue that shouldn't go public. Trackinfo ( talk) 03:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, SemiHypercube!
First, thank you for such a prompt reviewing :)! Can you advise me how to change/improve my article so it does not sound like an add text? Even if the topic turns out to be off limits, I will still have valuable knowledge about how to write a good Wiki article and how things work here on Wiki!
Hope to get your help Savii
The IPv6 editor whose address ends in 63 is actually a very well respected long term Wikipedian called Bob. I'm going to just nominate his userpage for speedy deletion, which is probably what the editor prior to you should have done. Just a heads up. Bob can be very helpful, and following his talk page can be illuminating. Happy editing! John from Idegon ( talk) 02:44, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello SemiHypercube,
Why do you think that the content you restored belongs in that article? I read every one of the references about the alleged sister and none of them identify her as his sister. Not one. But even if she is his sister, why should Tyreek Burwell's brief biography report in great detail that his sister received probation after a fight that received press attention?

Hello, SemiHypercube,
Your help closing certain discussions on ANI is helpful but I wanted to encourage you not to be sarcastic in the summary that you offer. It's best, if possible, for all involved parties to finish a discussion feeling like they were heard. Leaving a message that can be seen as ridicule towards productive editors who come to ANI asking for help is not welcome. If editors need to post their queries at another noticeboard, they can be politely shown the way.
And if you are taking your cues from long-time administrators who can sometimes get snippy, just know that you will earn some latitude, too, after you've been here for 10 or 12 years. But as a new editor, it always helps to err towards politeness. Thanks again for your help at the dramaboards. Liz Read! Talk! 22:11, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

That's helpful, so I should include links to what investors and analysts are saying it as a business? Is that what you mean by what others say? In preparing this article I looked to other pages to model this entry, and when I look at pages like /info/en/?search=Trane and /info/en/?search=Honeywell I'm only seeing one instance that specifically is about what others say - in the Honeywell article, there are a few sentences about criticism of alleged tax issues and weapons manufacturing. As of now, there's not been public criticism of Resideo, as they've just spun off from Honeywell. The company is new but old in a sense, but as you may guess, mostly what's been said is on the investment side. Should I add a few lines about that? Thanks so much for your help!! 999edits ( talk) 23:17, 19 December 2018 (UTC) 999edits 12.19.2018

Hi! Welcome to the new reply-link newsletter, which I made because the ol' list on the reply-link talk page was unwieldy. In case you haven't been following development recently, I've sent out some new updates that should let it reply basically anywhere, even in transcluded pages or under hatted discussions (two locations people have been wanting for a while). Reliability has also gone way up, as I've implemented a couple of sanity checks that help prevent the script from responding to the wrong message. Unfortunately, that means the script fails a bit more often. Anyway, try it out if you haven't done so in a while, and let me know what you think! I always appreciate feature requests or bug reports on the talk page. Happy replying! ( Signup list/Unsubscribe) MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:23, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Dear all. Recently, our community lost a dedicated user, Abelmoschus Esculentus ( talk). Among their projects were a number of user scripts that they left behind. I (DannyS712) have copied the scripts, and have taken over maintaining them. You currently import one or more of Abelmoschus Esculentus' scripts, and I thought that you might want to import a maintained version. Links to each script are provided below.
If you have any questions, please reach out and talk to me. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 00:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

I am interested in creating a new page that would fall under the Computing wiki project. It's a competitive intelligence program called Cipher. It's relatively new and has developed by Knowledge 360.

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | ||
In recognition of your vigilance and speed in dealing with vandals. “Admin material” describes you well! Tesseractive ( talk) 00:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC) |
Hi :) Thank you for your contributions. When your account is automatically confirmed, you might be interested in trying this tool: WP:Twinkle - it can be enabled as a "Gadget" in your preferences and will make the relatively tedious work of using the "undo" command, manually selecting the last revision before vandalism, finding a good template and adding it to the user's talk page, much easier.
When I saw the Anti-Vandalism barnstar by "Tesseractive", I noticed that "Tesseract" is just another word for "Hypercube" and might seem to have been only registered to deliver this barnstar to your userpage. You are allowed to use multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia, but this should not be used in a way that could be considered " sockpuppetry". I'm honestly sorry if I am wrong, but I'll dare to ask this question - did you register both SemiHypercube and Tesseractive? ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 19:42, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi SemiHypercube. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 ( talk) 00:35, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 11:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

I reverted your edit because you can't argue a merge by adding a note to an archived case. The best way to do it in the future is to approach a member of the SPI team who is familiar with at least one of the cases and explain what you think should be done and why. That said, your edit got my attention, and you're right. I will ask a clerk to merge the two. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Venba, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I added some references to Garfi (cat). You may want to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Garfi (cat). Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 03:48, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{ wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox ( talk) 01:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Please stop reporting so many users with no edits. The mere presence of words like “fart” or “sex” are not enough to block someone who has not even attempted to edit. Again, we only block the worst of the worst without waiting for them to edit. Beeblebrox ( talk) 01:02, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Responding to your comment at Sir Sputnik's RfA — which, incidentally, you might consider moving to MA's talk page, as it's offtopic for the RfA — a single oppose against a sea of 49 supports is hardly a problem.

Hello, SemiHypercube. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
I am not accusing Administrators as a whole as forming a cabal. There are some corrupt Administrators who treat their friends in an unequal fashion. They have backchannel communications that are alluded to in their front facing comments. I monitor a bunch of Admins talk pages, not out of suspicion but because I have had interactions with them. I don't bother to turn it off after it has blown over because on wikipedia you really never know when something has blown over. I have a memory of the ones I have had unjust responses from. Those seem to be the same ones with the suspicious talk entries both inbound and outbound. It is obvious these Admins take care of their own, to the detriment of the world knowledge project of wikipedia. I know who not to take a problem to and I do vote based on that information. If I sound cynical and jaded about Administrators as a whole, it is because these rotten apples spoil the whole bunch. I've also had positive interactions with Administrators and have my list of who I would trust to go to with an issue that shouldn't go public. Trackinfo ( talk) 03:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, SemiHypercube!
First, thank you for such a prompt reviewing :)! Can you advise me how to change/improve my article so it does not sound like an add text? Even if the topic turns out to be off limits, I will still have valuable knowledge about how to write a good Wiki article and how things work here on Wiki!
Hope to get your help Savii
The IPv6 editor whose address ends in 63 is actually a very well respected long term Wikipedian called Bob. I'm going to just nominate his userpage for speedy deletion, which is probably what the editor prior to you should have done. Just a heads up. Bob can be very helpful, and following his talk page can be illuminating. Happy editing! John from Idegon ( talk) 02:44, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello SemiHypercube,
Why do you think that the content you restored belongs in that article? I read every one of the references about the alleged sister and none of them identify her as his sister. Not one. But even if she is his sister, why should Tyreek Burwell's brief biography report in great detail that his sister received probation after a fight that received press attention?

Hello, SemiHypercube,
Your help closing certain discussions on ANI is helpful but I wanted to encourage you not to be sarcastic in the summary that you offer. It's best, if possible, for all involved parties to finish a discussion feeling like they were heard. Leaving a message that can be seen as ridicule towards productive editors who come to ANI asking for help is not welcome. If editors need to post their queries at another noticeboard, they can be politely shown the way.
And if you are taking your cues from long-time administrators who can sometimes get snippy, just know that you will earn some latitude, too, after you've been here for 10 or 12 years. But as a new editor, it always helps to err towards politeness. Thanks again for your help at the dramaboards. Liz Read! Talk! 22:11, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the feedback, but would like some help determining what exactly is too much. Trying to find the right balance between 'decriptive enough' and 'so much.'

That's helpful, so I should include links to what investors and analysts are saying it as a business? Is that what you mean by what others say? In preparing this article I looked to other pages to model this entry, and when I look at pages like /info/en/?search=Trane and /info/en/?search=Honeywell I'm only seeing one instance that specifically is about what others say - in the Honeywell article, there are a few sentences about criticism of alleged tax issues and weapons manufacturing. As of now, there's not been public criticism of Resideo, as they've just spun off from Honeywell. The company is new but old in a sense, but as you may guess, mostly what's been said is on the investment side. Should I add a few lines about that? Thanks so much for your help!! 999edits ( talk) 23:17, 19 December 2018 (UTC) 999edits 12.19.2018

I see that SemiHypercube change my amendments
So if there is any admin please change this :
/info/en/?search=Crohn%27s_disease
Correct name of this disease is :
,, Lesniowski-Crohn "
Mr Leśniowski was a Polish sciente who discovered this disease !
Antoni Leśniowski in 1904 first who public about this disease .
Not putting his name is like lieing that there is no Moon .

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Neurodiversity does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. You can't just hit revert or roll back without an explanation.

Hi! Welcome to the new reply-link newsletter, which I made because the ol' list on the reply-link talk page was unwieldy. In case you haven't been following development recently, I've sent out some new updates that should let it reply basically anywhere, even in transcluded pages or under hatted discussions (two locations people have been wanting for a while). Reliability has also gone way up, as I've implemented a couple of sanity checks that help prevent the script from responding to the wrong message. Unfortunately, that means the script fails a bit more often. Anyway, try it out if you haven't done so in a while, and let me know what you think! I always appreciate feature requests or bug reports on the talk page. Happy replying! ( Signup list/Unsubscribe) MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:23, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

I am your 30th talk page stalker, so you can finally get rid of the ugly sentence "Fewer than 30 watchers" ― Abelmoschus Esculentus ( talk • contribs) 04:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
re: [28], Evad says in 1A:
I would apply for interface administrator, if successful with this RfA, so I could help with gadget and user js/css requests
Thought that might answer your question :) (not

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Dear all. Recently, our community lost a dedicated user, Abelmoschus Esculentus ( talk). Among their projects were a number of user scripts that they left behind. I (DannyS712) have copied the scripts, and have taken over maintaining them. You currently import one or more of Abelmoschus Esculentus' scripts, and I thought that you might want to import a maintained version. Links to each script are provided below.
If you have any questions, please reach out and talk to me. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 00:30, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey, you left a comment on my draft saying it needs more reliable sources. I added a bunch more, and I think the article's pretty good now. Could you review it? Also, who's gonna create the page if it gets accepted? Sorry for the questions, I'm new to this whole draft thing. UnsignificantEditor ( talk) 22:29, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi SemiHyoercube!
I am interested in creating a new page that would fall under the Computing wiki project. It's a competitive intelligence program called Cipher. It's relatively new and has developed by Knowledge 360. I was hoping you would be able to offer me tips to make the page more successful from the start. Any insight you can give is appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lash975 ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
