Dan Howell

After reverting a bunch of Dan Howell vandalism, I found myself at the edit filter request page. I am fascinated by this. I'd like to work with edit filter related things but don't know where to start. It all seems so complicated (at least at first glance), what can I do to dive into this a bit further. Just request filters? I would have done so with the Dan Howell vandalism had I known more about the edit filter at the time. What can I do to get my feet wet? --Sue Rangell[citation needed] 03:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Generally, edit filter manager is reserved for administrators and other long-term users of Wikipedia, who probably could become administrators if they stood at RFA. Additionally, the usergroup requires a strong knowledge of regex, so yes, edit filters can be very complicated. However, if you find something that you believe could benefit by having an edit filter crafted for it, feel free to request it at Wikipedia:Edit filter/Requested.
In response to the "Dan Howell" / "danisnotonfire"-related vandalism, that would be a good thing to request filtering since it is already supposed to be filtered out. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thanks for protecting my page, I was going crazy trying to keep up with all of the vandalism! Sue Rangell[citation needed] 02:48, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer

Please Give me the right of Reviewer if i don't have experience then take back this right from me, Thank You Greatuser (talk) 04:57, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you have the experience necessary with Wikipedia just yet. Furthermore, this is not a "never" decline; this is a "not just yet" decline, so feel free to re-request when you have had more experience editing Wikipedia. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:40, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darmstadt linear accelerator SPI

We seem to be having issues with making this work. It needs cleanup, but I don't know how... Help me fix this? Hamtechperson 15:25, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've already fixed it, and I requested checkuser since there are likely to be more sockpuppets. Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:30, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for changing my rights! — M.Mario (T/C) 16:36, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Horror novel"

Sorry to bother you with this but I"m not sure what to do. Today you deleted Under the bleachers which you correctly described as a horror novel. I completely agree. The exact same content has just been recreated at User:Group32012; I know this isn't appropriate material for Wikipedia but I don't know what to do about a user page. Could I trouble you to do whatever is necessary? Many thanks in advance for anything you think is appropriate. Ubelowme U Me 21:24, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've zapped that too as another application of WP:IAR. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your prompt attention to this AND the reference to the correct policy, which will help me next time! Ubelowme U Me 23:39, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting bad-faith reports

Hello, I have been archiving the bad faith reports, in the future, should I just delete them then? -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 19:07, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I always just delete them. There's no point in looking through scores of bogus reports. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:12, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, okay, good with me. Would it be okay if I removed the false positives from the most recent archives (after all, it makes sense to only have actual false positives in there for future reference, not bad faith reports)? -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 19:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't waste the time, but it's entirely up to you. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:38, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Padalecki Problem

Thank you for taking the time to explain to me my mistake, I'm not very well-versed in editing. As of about ten minutes ago, I could not find any Wikipedia page for GISHWHES; if a page was set up specifically for it, would future teams editing the page for the challenge be valid, or am I wrong and it would still be considered spam? Grady.hopper (talk) 20:08, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that editing nonsense or humor into Wikipedia is unacceptable on any article. For the purposes of your scavenger hunt, you may wish to get the coordinators to create their own private wiki that you and the other contestants can mess around with as much as you please. (See http://www.mediawiki.org for more information on how to do that.) Alternatively, you could edit a document on your computer. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thank you for your time and suggestions, hopefully they will be viable. If I can get the attention of a man who makes several million dollars more a year than I do... Fingers crossed.Grady.hopper (talk) 20:30, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rainbow Dash loves girls

I happened to come across that username and noticed it was blocked, don't you think it's a bit harsh to call that username 'completely inappropriate'? I sense homophobia on your part.  Fiossa 20:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My decline has nothing to do with homophobia. It has to do with the obvious age implication of "girl". Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:The duck test

With respect, protecting this page seems extremely premature. There was one sock puppet edit which I rapidly reverted, and you blocked the offending account. If BA created more socks and kept at that page, I could see it but protecting after just one act of vandalism? Could you explain this please? --Hammersoft (talk) 20:25, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The protection was meant to be temporary just to deny him his target, especially given that he is the only non-autoconfirmed user to ever edit that page. I accidentally forgot to set the expiry time, which will now be remedied. Thanks. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:28, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (no talk back necessary; I'll follow and respond if inclined) I still don't think it necessary, and preemptively protecting even for a short period is I think wrong. Your intent is good, but the outcome...I can't agree with it. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:40, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

WP:STiki

I want to use STiki for reverting Vandalism, But How the way to use it please tell me, I already have visited the page Wikipedia:STiki But I didn't get to know the usage of it, Thank You Greatuser (talk) 12:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be best if you stayed away from automated antivandalism tools, given your tendency to rush things. That said, I can't really help you that much because I really don't know how STiki can be acquired. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:53, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Then please grant me the rights of Rollbacker Because I am Keen to fight against Vandalism, Please Now I have experience about Wikipedia, and I Really Love to Fight against Vandalism as said if Not experienced take back this right Thank You Greatuser (talk) 13:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No. As I've said before, you need more experience and to slow down. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:11, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing to worry about, but FYI WormTT(talk) 13:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
