Hi, it is regarding this one you recently blocked. I believe this is the original one, same area/similar style. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

AntiVandal suggestion
Hello, I would like to suggest adding a dark mode to antivandal. It would be a lot easier on the eyes. Thanks! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 21:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion, @GrayStorm! That is a feature that I'd like to add eventually, but unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time right now to work on it. I'll try to at some point, though! —Ingenuity (t • c) 23:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Cool. Thats understandable that you can't work on it currently, but I look forward to seeing it when it does come out. GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 23:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I didn't want to just change the block since you seemed to have made deliberate choices with the settings, but given that the main account had talk pages access revoked, I think maybe the sock should to. We've clearly wasted more than enough time on this person. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 00:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Just Step Sideways: it looks like Scottperry only has email disabled; I just left the settings the same as JPxG's initial block. I'm not opposed to revoking their TPA, though, given that they seem on the verge of making legal threats. —Ingenuity (t • c) 00:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I'm dumb. He had it revoked at one point but I see now it was restored later. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Ingenuity, just to jump on this - thanks for removing the other edit summaries from his attack sock. Needless to say, I didn’t take too kindly to some of those PAs. The Kip (contribs) 02:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Find shared interests
Hi! Is there a tool I can use to find Wikipedia users who have edited the same set of articles? I have read Wikipedia:Tools/User interaction investigations which is somewhat similar, but not what I want. Polygnotus (talk) 03:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Polygnotus: I actually created a tool like that, and used it on Hajer (it's a bunch of Javascript code; I can send it to you, if you like). There aren't any other users with significant overlap that the tool found, though. I also went through the history of basically every article they've edited manually, but found nothing. There is one user (AZAA23) who could be related, but they have only made two edits on enwiki. —Ingenuity (t • c) 03:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- If you would be so kind to send me that tool it would be greatly appreciated (you can email it or paste it on my userpage, whatever you prefer). I was thinking of writing something like that myself and sticking it on Github. In exchange I can offer the contribution list tool (press on the Show changes button here to see its output) but its not really finished yet. Without accusing anyone; I think I may have found an account that is very enthusiastic about certain well-known brands. Polygnotus (talk) 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Polygnotus: I've emailed you the code. It isn't super accurate, though, so treat its results with a grain of salt. —Ingenuity (t • c) 04:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting, thank you. For the record: there is no indication that the other user is related to Hajer-12 in any way, but they are a lot more excited about certain brands than you or I would be. Polygnotus (talk) 04:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

This question shouldn't be here?
Hello Ingenuity.
I just wanted to remind you that a Nothere user (now blocked) asked a question on your AntiVandal.js talk page [1]. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will interfere with the AntiVandal script. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 04:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I'm not an expert on user scripts, but seeing as that is the talk page, and not the code itself, it should be fine. And anyway, you probably couldn't mess with the code even if you wanted to. Javascript pages are protected so that only the user who's subpage it is and interface admins can edit them (eg. I could edit User:GrayStorm/Lorem.js but not User:Ingenuity/Ipsum.js, however an interface admin could edit both these pages). Hope this helps! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 05:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- @GrayStorm, That's good to know! Anyways, I'll leave the message as it be and let Ingenuity decide. Cheers. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 08:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think he'll have access to appeal at AN, as talk page is already blocked. He'll probably have to go through UTRS, yes? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- @SarekOfVulcan: I re-enabled talk page access when reblocking. If they abuse it again, I won't hesitate to revoke it, and then they would need to appeal through UTRS. —Ingenuity (t • c) 16:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Do you know anything about vitamin supplements?
ZMA (supplement) has two recent edits that I wasn't sure about. I wasn't sure which noticeboard I would need. Knitsey (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted their edit. If they continue, I'd suggest warnings for adding promotional content, and a report to WP:COIN or WP:AIV if necessary. —Ingenuity (t • c) 01:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Lovely, thank you. Knitsey (talk) 01:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Missing editnotice
Hi Ingenuity, regarding Special:Diff/1239801320, article-specific restrictions can't lead to sanctions if there was no editnotice about them on the affected page at the time of the violation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:46, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @ToBeFree: Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I've created one now. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:51, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Next time I'll message the administrator after creating the editnotice. Sorry and thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

IngenuityBot makes title up
It's a bit old this, but I only just noticed. In this edit the bot claimed the article was called "Former defense lawyer says drug testing should be mandatory for officers in high risk police units" but the title is in fact "Make drug testing mandatory for police in high-risk units, ex-defence lawyer says". DuncanHill (talk) 20:41, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like the article's title must have been changed after publication, and the bot fetched the old one. It doesn't really matter now, I don't plan on running the bot again any time soon. —Ingenuity (t • c) 22:10, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024
Hello Ingenuity:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Thank you for common sense! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
