Useful link

You should bookmark this link. It is a list of most recently active administrators. If you need help, pick one from the list. If there is a wider discussion/more eyes required you could post to WP:ANI. Polygnotus (talk) 10:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I bookmarked it. It was nice of you to remove that person's nonsense from my talk page, too - I would have hoped that any future readers would get that I wasn't the troublemaker in that interaction, but I might be too optimistic; perhaps many would just see the fact that I'm an IP with several vandalism messages on their talk page and assume that I must be, indeed, a vandal. Although the previous two messages - the usual 'false positives' from too trigger-happy vandal patrollers - may be enough to give that impression anyway.--62.73.69.121 (talk) 19:23, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Trash belongs in the bin. You are allowed to remove stuff from your talkpage. You are encouraged to make an account, but this is not required. The main advantage is that you are less likely to be the victim of friendly fire. I will be WP:BOLD and replace the messages above with something more appropriate.

If this is not enough to stop the false positives there is another great trick: Wikipedia:Editnotice. Polygnotus (talk) 23:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that was very helpful! I generally wouldn't remove any messages from other users from my talk page, because it would feel too much as if I were muzzling them and I wouldn't want to look as if I were trying to conceal the evidence of any misdeeds; but since you were the one who made the changes, I'll accept that in this case. :) --62.73.69.121 (talk) 15:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
