Copyvio tagging

edit

Hi, when you tag something for RD1, can you make sure you've checked off all of the revisions that contain the copied text? All of them have to go, not just the very first one in which they appear. -- asilvering (talk) 03:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Will do, sorry! Thanks for responding so quickly to the revdel, though - let me know if there's anything else I can do (in general) to make the process of RD1 easier. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 03:47, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just one more thing: if you leave the URL of the source (or description, if it's not online) in the edit summary when you remove the content, that can be helpful for future editors. (From the admin perspective, so long as the URL is in the revdel request template and all the revisions have been tagged, you've already done all you can to make the job easier.) -- asilvering (talk) 03:52, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pending changes

edit

Hey, LR.127, I see you accepted this at pending changes. The edit changed this BLP's caste, which is the reason this article was placed under pending changes. Valereee (talk) 12:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oh! I swore I must have reverted the edit... thanks for catching it though :-). I'll double-check my other pending changes checks and will be more cautious in the future. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 15:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
It wasn't me who caught it, we had a request at WP:RFPP because pending changes protection wasn't solving a pretty important BLP vio problem at a little-watched BLP, and I wondered why the edits were still getting through. Valereee (talk) 15:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

On Sean Ludwick vs Ludwig

A source was in fact provided 2603:7000:2103:79D0:FD9C:6459:FB77:2C26 (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I'm assuming you mean the request I declined at Redirects for Creation linked here. I saw that you entered your own IP as the source, and declined it as such. Sorry about that.
I recommend you resubmit the request and another reviewer can take another look shortly. Hope this helps. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 19:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you!

Hello LR.127, I have noticed that you often handle requests at Wikipedia: Articles for Creation/Redirects, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work; please keep it up! I have a little piece of friendly advice to share. I have seen that you remove talk page messages from your user talk instead of archiving them. While you are allowed to remove comments from your own talk pages, archiving is usually the better option. It really helps everyone keep track of past messages more easily. Thanks for considering this :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thanks for the thanks.
I was considering archiving my messages, but I'm not exactly in favor of such complexity (and I'd rather not to have so many subpages in general). For now, I think archiving them in the page history like most other pages is fine, but I may soon switch to a real archive soon if I figure the hassle is worth it. Cheers :-). LR.127 (talk) 01:43, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
There are two bots that can automatically archive threads according to your preferences. If you are interested, I'd be happy to help you set up automatic archiving for your talk page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I genuinely appreciate the offer. I'll reconsider this in a few weeks and might ask for your assistance then :-). Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 01:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Meta-Wös

edit
 

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Meta-Wös, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Additional note: the term "Meta-wös" is a pun on Metaverse. This was added as vandalism to the Wels page. Please be more careful with creating pages like this based on AFC requests in the future. Thank you. ArcticSeeress (talk) 04:48, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Very sorry for this. I had been on the Wels page and noticed that Meta-Wös was the listed name but did not redirect. I will be more careful next time, and my intention was not to vandalize. Locatio (talk) 06:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
