DYK for Fiat 130 HP

On 27 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fiat 130 HP, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 1907 Fiat 130 HP racer had wooden wheels? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fiat 130 HP. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Notice

Hello ScrapIronIV. Your account has been granted the "rollbacker" and "reviewer" user rights. These user rights allow you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and quickly revert the edits of other users.

Rollback user right

Please keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Rollback should never be used to edit war.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin).

Pending changes reviewer user right

The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection enabled is located at Special:StablePages. You may find the following pages useful to review:

Wikipedia:Reviewing, the guideline on reviewing.
Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of reviewer or rollback. If you no longer want either of these user rights, contact me and I'll remove it, alternatively you can leave a request on the administrators' noticeboard. Happy editing!

A beer for you!

I'm just now seeing all of the fallout of the sockpuppet activity on Universe Sandbox ². Great to know you had it under control! Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You couldn't even put a bet on that!

At 20:15 on 30 October 2015 you completed an edit on Peppa Pig. A minute later, on the same day, you edited John Wayne. Just how does your mind work? Cassianto^Talk 09:30, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are some who would claim it doesn't :-) it was probably me just monitoring my watch list, which is an eclectic mess... Scr★pIron^IV 14:10, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't give a shit Brainiac15 (talk) 18:13, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, or you would provide sources. Scr★pIron^IV 18:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiratorial IP talk page edit

Ok, I have absolutely no idea what this IP edit was on about. Being both an occasional new page patroller and someone who keeps a lookout for WP:FRINGE material, I get my fair share of amusing crazy on my talk page, but usually I can at least guess why someone left an incoherent rant on there. Not so this time. As the person who reverted it, do you have any idea? :)
Cheers. Kolbasz (talk) 02:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolbasz: I'm not sure how this individual targeted you, but I kicked off his rant by identifying him as a sock of a blocked user. He first posted on mine, then put the same nonsense on a bunch of user pages before being blocked. Maybe you interacted with him in the from the past?

open orthodoxy

Hi, Thanks for your edit. Try to keep an eye on the related pages Avi Weiss, Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, Sara Hurwitz, and Shmuel Herzfeld. Council2 (talk) 09:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saks Fifth, etc

Hi scrapiron, thank you for suggesting I go to the talk page to express my reasoning behind my edits during an edit war that I could not understand for the life of me. On the bright side I am becoming a wiz at sourcing! I am very busy and will get back to editing tonight but I appriciate your patience with me, thank you very much. Warm regards from Albany Ny, -Brad Hampton

Blatant reversion-warring

As the subject says, I strongly suggest that you refrain from joining MONGO in blatantly ignoring WP policy (both WP:STEALTH and WP:JUSTAPOLICY), and trying to game WP:3RR. A vague hand-wave in the direction of a policy is no substitute for reasoning, sources, or both.
Please restore your undo, unless you're willing to - again - provide reasoning, sources, or both. 2001:558:600A:4B:78C0:A7BD:D471:9409 (talk) 18:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
