Editor experience invitation

Hi LR.127. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:45, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate the invitation, but I'll wait several months before I'll comfortably consider myself experienced! :-) Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 04:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. Feel free to pitch in whenever you're comfortable then :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:57, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Proxying

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TotalTruthTeller24 if you're going to be creating redirects to fictional works. This sock puppet is habitually using WP:AFC/R to recruit people to proxy edit. What happens is one account creates a redirect (or requests that a redirect be created), and then another accounts comes by to create an article at the redirect. This is done to evade blocks on the sock puppets as we find them and avoid scrutiny on their disruptive edits. If you can report the sock puppets to the investigations page I linked above instead of helping them, it would make the administrators' job easier.

Appreciate the notice - I'm not familiar with how sockpuppet investigations go on Wikipedia; could you explain to me what's happening on this case (and the technical terms like clerks and CheckUsers)? Cheers :-). LR.127 (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

TotalTruthTeller24 (TTT24) was blocked several years ago. They continued editing through numerous sock puppet accounts, evading our blocks, and continuing to make the same disruptive edits. Reporting people to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations (SPI) is pretty easy. You can just follow the prompts at "How to open an investigation". However, some people prefer to use Twinkle. I personally don't think it's any easier, but I seem to be outvoted on this issue.

CheckUsers are administrators who can see the IP addresses underneath accounts. For example, if my IP address happened to be 192.168.0.1, I'd be able to see that and block it. There are a few other things that CheckUsers can access, too, but they're not really important.

Clerks are normal users (or sometimes administrators) who assist CheckUsers in the maintenance of SPI. Clerks can tag cases for Checkuser review, and they're usually the ones who give a final look at the case before it's archived.

Some people find identifying sock puppets difficult. I collected a few thoughts, which might help. TTT24 in particular tends to bulk create a bunch of redirects on some fictional work. Many of the redirects are characters, but major story lines, episodes, or spinoffs might also be targeted. I guess I'd say that TTT24 treats Wikipedia like it's Wikia/Fandom.

A message from 210.153.217.106

you say this, yet smb2j is already a redirect despite fully being a fanname. just look up smb2u, may people call it that 210.153.217.106 (talk) 05:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello! You can resubmit your request and someone else can take a look - I can't establish notability on the subject myself. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 13:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi LR.127, I hope you are well! I have seen your contributions which are quite good, but I recently noticed that you reverted a blank request from the rollback tool at WP:AFC/R, I am not blaming you, you can use it, but since we use rollback only when we see clear vandalism and the page is currently pending change, I thought it would be much better for us and them if we use Twinkle, Anti-Vandal or Undo tools to revert the edits instead of rollback tool.I hope you understand my thoughts. Happy editing --- ᗩvírαm7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 15:48, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello - thanks for checking in! I'm so used to Twinkle's non-vandalism rollbacks that send an edit summary pop-up, that I was a little surprised when a regular rollback just worked with one click. Definitely will stick to Twinkle for this, thanks for the reminder. Cheers :-). LR.127 (talk) 18:07, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for you're reply, I thought if see her preferences in gadget section's in browser section from top2nd number of option if you enabling in you're preferences,then If you try to revert edits from rollback tool then they firstly ask for confirmation of rollback and then the revert are possible. Happy editing --- ᗩvírαm7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 04:55, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi LR.127, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
