A new barnstar for you!

		The Original Barnstar
		As part of doing something else I noticed that the semi-protection edit request backlog went from like 40 earlier today down to 10, and after some digging I see you went ham! Let this be a show of appreciation for you doing that, as I personally know some of the ones you addressed could be considered tedious by a lot of editors here. Might I introduce you to the edit request tool? If you decide to do edit requests for the foreseeable future it should make your life a bajillion times easier. Good work, and happy editing! —Sirdog (talk) 07:56, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, and also the suggestion! The edit request tool is great. I‘ve managed to clear the SPER backlog, so I‘m starting on COIREQ :) Actualcpscm (talk) 12:19, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

COI Requests for Paul Andrew (Designer)

Hi there! On March 19, you asked me to clarify my COI requests for Paul Andrew. I responded on March 21. Might I trouble you to take a look? Many thanks for your consideration. Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 12:53, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry about that, I must have missed it. I'll take a look as soon as I can. Actualcpscm (talk) 18:58, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Sounds good. Thanks in advance. All the best, BlueRoses13 (talk) 12:50, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

BlueRoses13 Done! Actualcpscm (talk) 11:37, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Question from Barbiavuyile (11:00, 8 May 2023)

What happened when you don't sleep --Barbiavuyile (talk) 11:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Barbiavuyile, welcome to Wikipedia! Usually, the mentoring tools are meant for asking questions about Wikipedia and editing practices. If you need help with specific factual questions or research, check out the reference desk at WP:RD.

To briefly answer your question, nothing good. Sleep is very important, and most people should aim to get around 8 hours of undisturbed sleep every night. Getting less than that or even no sleep at all in an isolated instance is not dangerous per se, but it does impair focus and reflexes. I wouldn't recommend driving a fast car if someone didn't sleep the night before. In the long run, sleep deficits are associated with a lot of health risks. Please be aware that Wikipedia is not the place to ask for medical advice, nor will anyone here provide such advice. Accordingly, this is just a general answer, and you shouldn't interpret it as any kind of specific medical advice. If you have a medical concern, see a doctor or other healthcare professional as soon as possible. Actualcpscm (talk) 11:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Question from Blitzfan51 (19:54, 9 May 2023)

can you link me to the guidelines for merging articles please? --Blitzfan51 (talk) 19:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Blitzfan51 WP:MERGE gives a good idea. There is no specific guideline or policy on merging, but as a general rule, common sense matters most. Different aspects of the same individual topic should be in the same article. Standalone articles are only warranted if both topics or subjects independently meet the relevant notability requirements and common sense dictates a split. If you‘re unsure, you can always ask and discuss on the article talk pages. If you have a specific case in mind, feel free to ask me for specific feedback about that too. I understand that „common sense“ isn‘t always very helpful, so the best thing to do when you‘re unsure is to open a discussion. Actualcpscm (talk) 20:09, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

System approved destructive edits.

My edit was a response to the removal of all the actual useful information on several wikipedia pages. The differences between the different years on the different motorcycles, in this case the CBR1100XX, is being removed because it is "fanboy cruft" all that is left is what is common knowledge and available from any source.

This is a worrying development since it will make wikipedia totally useless. I remember the first time I saw this, it was on pages about battleships, the majority of information was removed since it only interested "people that was interested in warships". What good is an encyclopedia that does not cater to the ppl that are interested in reading it?

My interest in the CBR1100XX was which year they moved from carburetors to fuel injection. Fortunately the history pages still retain the pages with some actually important information on them. If you will not allow real useful data on the pages they might just as well say "A motorcycle made by Honda". I will be surprised if some one reads this, wikipedia is getting less and less useful by the day. Great job!!!!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.128.229.250 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

COI Request on Convoy of Hope Page

Hi there! On 29 April 2023 you asked for some additional information/citation for my COI request on the Convoy of Hope Page. I responded on 2 May 2023. Could I trouble you to take a look? Thanks so much for your consideration and let me know if I need to do something else to help the changes you approve take effect. Signed, Generalmills2002 (talk) 14:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Generalmills2002! I must have missed that reply, apologies. I hope to get to this soon, but in the meantime, you can go ahead and re-open the edit request in case another editor is working throught the COIREQ backlog. Actualcpscm (talk) 13:02, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Question from Onvoit (17:36, 20 May 2023)

Hello, I would like to add to the article on Peter Oborne to mention his appearance in the Al Jazeera 4 part documentary on the Labour Files : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elp18OvnNV0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DTMF0MSXng https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/labour-files/ My addition could be as below : Peter Oborne appears in several of the four-parts of the Al Jazeera documentary The Labour Files involving investigations based on a leak of thousands of emails, documents, social media messages emanating from Labour party staff members. These give indications of how Jeremy Corbyn was undermined by his staff. How party members sympathetic to the left were purged, Revelations about the antisemitism crisis in the Labour party, and how Labour Party leaders spied on their members to have them expelled. --Onvoit (talk) 17:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Onvoit! If the article is not protected, you can edit it yourself. If there is article protection that is preventing you from doing so, you can open an edit request on the article's talk page with the appropriate template: {{edit semi-protected}} or {{edit extended-protected}}.

I have some comments regarding your proposed addition, though. First, it's not quite clear why this article should include a summary of the documentary. It might be more appropriate to mention what the documentary actually attributes to him, and then just source it to the documentary. If I understand correctly, he appears as a character or interviewee in the documentary(?), so I'd suggest "He has expressed [a belief]" or "He has advocated for [something]", with an attribution to this source.

It is not common practice on Wikipedia to mention sources directly in the text, nor are they usually described in article text. There are some exceptions, like when an opinion needs clear attribution, but this is not such a case.

Additionally, this documentary should not be sourced to YouTube, as that platform falls under WP:UGC. If the content sourced to this is uncontroversial, it might be alright, but biographies of living persons have a high standard for appropriate sourcing. Perhaps you could find the documentary on the Al Jazeera website?

If you have any further questions or need help in some other form, just let me know here :) Happy editing! Actualcpscm (talk) 09:17, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Automation

do you use any sort of automated script such as twinkle or ultraviolet? If so, would you be willing to teach me some good settings to use? If you don't use any, can you direct me to someone who does? Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 14:40, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Blitzfan51! I primarily use Redwarn (anti-vandalism) and Twinkle (other stuff). With both of them, the default settings are completely fine. If you need any further help with using them, just let me know :)

Remember that you are responsible for all edits you make, even when using scripts or similar automation tools. I would recommend sticking to stuff you‘ve extensively done manually, automation can quickly get you „lost in the flow“ of working, which might decrease your attention to detail. Happy editing! Actualcpscm (talk) 15:46, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I just installed ultraviolet that's why i asked. Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 15:52, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Actualcpscm. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:33, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Angela Merkel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carnegie. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Extended confirmed

I have achieved extended confirmed! Thank you for all of your help and support so far. I have also enrolled in the CVUA and requested rollback rights. I see you got rollback rights recently. Good job. Illusion Flame is my teacher for my CVUA and he's very good at it. Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 16:47, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Blitzfan51! That's great, I'm really glad that you've stuck around, and I'm happy that I was able to help you out when you were learning the ropes. CUVA is also good place to learn about vandalism. If that's an area of interest to you, you could contribute at this ongoing discussion at MediaWiki.

It might be a little early for rollback; with 215 article namespace edits (of which 130 are non-automated), there's a good chance you will be rejected. Is there are particular reason you're interested in the tool? It's better not to think of user rights as achievements. It's not against the rules or anything, but it might end up as a frustrating experience. As mentioned in the "Rollback granted" message above, it's not particularly momentous to be granted additional editing tools. A lot of people get caught up WP:HATCOLLECTING, and that's an unhelpful and often unrewarding approach to editing. The reasoning behind the restriction of certain tools is administrative, it's not intended as a reward structure for editing.

However, as an extended-confirmed editor, you can do what really got me into editing here in the first place: answering (almost) all edit requests! User:AnomieBOT/EPERTable lists the currently open extended-protected edit requests. Terasail developed an amazing tool for answering these requests. You can find it at User:Terasail/Edit_Request_Tool. As always, feel free to come here with any questions or concerns. Happy editing! Actualcpscm (talk) 17:08, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

The reason I want rollback is so I can use Huggle. I do not consider myself a hat collector. More like a weapon collector. The more weapons I can have to fight vandalism the better. Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 20:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

That's great, just making sure. Enjoy fighting the vandals :) Actualcpscm (talk) 09:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Help with Fabrizio Freda edits

Actualcpscm, I want to thank you for your patience. This is my first time making a COI edit request, and I am doing my best to follow all the rules. I mistakenly deleted your comment and understand that it was bad practice, I apologize. I have formatted a new edit request which takes all of your feedback into account. I hope you will take a look and implement these edits. Sophie-esteelauder (talk) 14:35, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
