Dealing with vandalism

...or other obnoxious editing. Please see wp:vandalism. Generally, editors should be warned four times before reporting to WP:AIV. Warning usually are made with wp:templates. i.e. "templating". See WP:WARNING for a list of templates. When especially egregious, one can use {{uw-vand4im}} {{subst:uw-vand4im|*article name*}} I usually reserve this for additions of objectionable images or text - very racist, overt sexual images, etc. Note that there is a clear distinction between vandalism and wp:content disputes, and other wp:disruptive editing. Be sure not to confuse the two! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 11:05, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HI, the article is translated now. I do apologize for not commenting when I removed the tag. I've commented many times during the translation process. That's all I have done - translated. I will make sure it's done properly next time.

Rollback granted

Hi FriyMan. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- Samtar ^{talk · contribs} 12:00, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to the speedy deletion notice

Thanks for bringing the ugly state of my User page to my attention. It was actually an attempt to paste in an image i had converted to ASCII art. I've put up a temporary user page now. In a few days I'll have one that looks nice. Hope you understand! Arkhaminsanity (talk) 07:50, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though your RfA won't go well, I want to thank you for your edits so far. We always need more vandalism patrollers, and it looks like you're doing a pretty good job at that. AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 12:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Automated Edits

Greetings, I'm Exemplo347. I've noticed that you have been making a large number of edits in rapid succession - 24 in 2 minutes - and I'd like to know how? Are you using a bot? I'm curious. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 09:47, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, Exemplo347! I made 24 edits in 2 minutes, because I am using Huggle, a semi-automatic tool and one of its options is automatically welcoming users. FriyMan ^talk 09:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That may be one of its options, but you should really be using Huggle sparingly. It is not intended to be used to perform that many edits in rapid succession. I've never seen that many edits appear in the New User Edits watchlist in such a short time - are you taking time to verify each of your edits before they are posted? I don't see how you could be. Exemplo347 (talk) 09:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am taking my time to verify each of my edits. Do not worry, I do not revert without a reason. Since most of the edits I do are welcome messages to IP users, encouraging to create an account, I do not believe that it is a problem. FriyMan ^talk 10:28, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:HG: It is a diff browser intended for dealing with vandalism and other unconstructive edits (my italics). O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 10:31, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I accept. I might have been wrong here and my theory is that this automatic welcome message could have been a symptom of mixing Twinkle and Huggle. I swear that I did not develop any software doing this automatically. FriyMan ^talk 10:34, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how will you explain this? 12:44, 17 January 2017 (diff | hist) . . (+7,163)‎ . . N User talk:Rajender Kashyap ‎ (Welcoming user (HG) (3.1.20)) (current) (Tag: Huggle) - FriyMan ^talk 10:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At least one of your Automated welcomes has been posted on the page of a user who has been here for 10 years - User talk:Realblade - and TexTucker has been here since July 2016 so I question the validity of whatever process you are using to select and welcome "new users". I see that after this issue was raised with you, you went on to do the exact same thing again in two more large batches, again so rapidly that it is not humanly possible for you to have individually checked each message to make sure it was appropriate for each user - unless you're about to tell me that you were able to perform these checks in less than 6 seconds, because at 11:44 you posted 10 messages. Exemplo347 (talk) 13:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Exemplo347, I myself do not know what is happening. Every time I enter Huggle and browse through edits it keeps on welcoming users every time I see their edits. I have checked huggle settings, there isn't any info about it. However I definetly have proof that this is Huggle. 2:44, 17 January 2017 (diff | hist) . . (+7,163)‎ . . N User talk:Rajender Kashyap ‎ (Welcoming user (HG) (3.1.20)) (current) (Tag: Huggle) Could you please suggest a way to fix this? FriyMan ^talk 15:28, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My immediate solution is that you should disable Huggle and ask for answers at the Helpdesk. You are responsible for the edits Huggle makes, even if you don't intend for them to happen, so the most sensible course of action is to stop using Huggle until you can work out what is going wrong. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 15:30, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I will stop using huggle until there will be a solution to this problem. FriyMan ^talk 15:34, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's best until you know what's happening, it's never a good thing when you don't know what posts you're making and why. Good luck with your future editing! Exemplo347 (talk) 15:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found an alternative. I am now using STiki, since it is almost identical with Huggle. FriyMan ^talk 21:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You could ask at WP:VPT.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:31, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much!

Hello, FriyMan. You have new messages at Jeceley's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Some advice?

Hello! I've been on Wikipedia for a while now and I want to take part in anti-vandal activities. I'm really confuses about how to go about this. The CVU page confused me further. I would be greatly appreciative of you would lend me some tips to help make this a better place. Arkhaminsanity (talk) 14:22, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Arkhaminsanity:, You might not believe me but I am also learning to teach people. We can start the course at about 11:15 UTC tomorrow. I will guide where to go through my talk page. I will make a new section of my own talk page especially for your education. Is this good? FriyMan ^talk 19:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear FriyMan, many thanks for the big cat earlier :)

Now- may I ask, how are you learning to teach people? -and do you think this is the time to be doing so? Most of us here- many far longer than me- are still learning ourselves. Remember: Every Teacher Is A Learner. Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 19:31, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I am learning by talking to students. I am learning about the best ways to communicate with others and make it fun for students to learn. I believe that it is very important to make learning fun and interesting. FriyMan ^talk 19:36, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FriyMan, I think what Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi is saying is that you are too new and don't have the experience needed to teach people yet. The issue with Huggle and your RfA confirm this. I didn't start teaching people until this month, and I've been on Wikipedia for 9 months, and I have over 10,000 edits, over 4,000 of them are antivandalism. You need more training yourself before you are able to train people. I'm sure you'll be a fantastic teacher, just wait for a few months. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ThePlatypuofDoom, thanks for wise mens advice. However I might just try my best and see if I can be a good teacher or not. FriyMan ^talk 21:21, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll put it bluntly. You are far too new to teach people in the CVUA. Don't do it. Wait for a few months. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, maybe than someone else will teach him. If you would like too, maybe you should try. Clearly new users have no authoritah on Wikipedia. FriyMan ^talk 21:33, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very few people have authority on Wikipedia (the community as a whole does), but users are expected to have a level of skill and experience to instruct new editors, and you are not at that level yet. You'll get there in a few months. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:24, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, is anyone willing to help me out? i truly want to help, but seems like this isn't going anywhere -Arkhaminsanity (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Arkhaminsanity:, you should probably ask more experinced editors on the WP:CVUA page. Sadly I am not one of them. I myself tried to find a mentor there, but it looks like they are too busy. :-( FriyMan ^talk 19:26, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you accept this Edit on Cabinet of Donald Trump

FriyMan https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cabinet_of_Donald_Trump&diff=762097176&oldid=762037759 It is clearly biased, and has gotten me into trouble. L3X1 Complaints Desk 16:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@L3X1:, I am very sorry. I did not take my time looking into this edit too much. I was in a hurry and I will take my time reviewing changes more carefully. How exactly did you get in trouble? FriyMan ^talk 19:38, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FriyMan Thanks. The "trouble" was merely that I had to spend more time researching the diff. L3X1 Complaints Desk 19:53, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IS this an ad?

Hiranandani Foundation School, Powai. On reading through its clear that the page has been made by someone from the school. The description of the uniforms gives that away. What action is appropriate and should i investigate further? Arkhaminsanity (talk) 12:18, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HI @Arkhaminsanity:! I believe that the part about uniform is not an as. However, the part about IB system looks like advertisement a lot. Please take your time to investigate it. Good job by the way. FriyMan ^talk 12:50, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My investigation leads me here ->Lovely Professional University. I don't know if its my editing fatigue, but so much here seems promotional. What is your opinion bout this? (Have a look at the placements section) Arkhaminsanity (talk) 15:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you can edit the article and remove all advertisement, you can find. Try report the editor, who made wrote this advertisement. FriyMan ^talk 16:46, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
