A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

I just took a look at your contributions, and I see that you spend a lot of time and effort toward reverting vandalism and cleaning up disruption on Wikipedia. I'm leaving you this barnstar to express my sincere and upmost appreciation for your excellent work, as it's the very least I could do in order to try and thank you. Reverting vandalism and disruption is a very thankless task to take on. Most editors who try to get into reverting disruption don't end up doing so for very long. They find that they can't handle the frequent insults, threats, and abuse that come their way as a result... You gotta have very thick skin at times, and you can't let any kind of jabs that are thrown at you get underneath it. This is why I appreciate your time and dedication toward removing vandalism so much. Keep up the great work, and if you continue to make good reverts, warn users for their disruption, and report repeat offenders - in a few months, I'll make you a rollbacker. Keep in touch, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need any input, advice, or coaching with vandalism cleanup - and I'll be happy to help you. I've been patrolling recent changes on Wikipedia for over 9 years, so I can definitely help you if you need it. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:45, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Arcoosecant,

I simply put facts on the page and showed his achievements, He is a well respected man in Somalia, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3MohammedYasir12 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@3MohammedYasir12: I reverted your edits because they violated Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View guidelines. On Wikipedia, we write our articles using a neutral point of view, where we state facts about the person rather than praising or criticizing them. I'd encourage you to read over the linked policy, and then to redo your edits. Additionally, you should sign your comments by appending a space and then 4 tilde "~" characters to the end, which helps us know who made a comment. Welcome to Wikipedia by the way, and I hope you have a good time. — csc^-1 15:19, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1880 South Carolina gubernatorial election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Johnson Hagood. 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) 06:13, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

Dear csc,

Regarding removal of edits, You claimed that "While not the main subject, the information is still relevant, and should not be removed." Additionally, you stated that "please do not remove hatnotes without good reason, as they are intended to point to other related subjects."

In regards to first point, it appears to me that this article focuses extremely heavily on the Jewish-christian messianic relationship. It appears that this extreme focus should be toned down.

With regard to second point, well taken. Should be more careful in future. Yaakov Wa. (talk) 21:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to 2nd revert, can you undo that because worked a bit on some changes. Will on my part undo that terminology from G-d to God. Please let me know when you do. Yaakov Wa. (talk) 21:19, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Arccosecant. 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! — Newslinger talk 20:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arccosecant, let's do a one-month trial. Please review the relevant pages (listed above) and follow the instructions to the best of your ability while reviewing pending changes at Special:PendingChanges over the course of the next month. When the permission is about to expire, please submit a new request to have the permission instated permanently upon review. — Newslinger talk 20:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per your request at User talk:Newslinger § Arccosecant, your reviewer permission is now indefinite. Thank you for your excellent work in reviewing 151 pending changes over the past month. — Newslinger talk 02:16, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bot Mistake

I recently came across the message: " Hello, I'm Arccosecant. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lake Wobegon, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. " I am hereby leaving a message on your talk page. Your account correctly identified my edition included no citation; your account, however, identified incorrectly that such edition was adding new citable information. Please notify a reasoning human to read the archive and correct the mistake. Thanks. And hello; greetings are cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.9.232.66 (talk) 05:18, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- edit**, after reading I'm not a bot, rather, I'm an editor who monitors new edits. Your edit was reverted because it made an unsubstantiated (not backed by a reliable source) claim that the "Lake Wobegon effect" only existed in "western language societies". :

Greetings, fellow human. The claim that {"the 'Lake Wobegon effect' only existed in 'western language societies'" was in the edited text} was an understandable interpretation. The text of my edition was accompanied by the explanation "Corrected prejudiced bias of over generalization from limited sample. More details of reasoning and references of evidence may be added." The change was made from a strong-belief claim (a species) to a more modest one (an ill-defined population). It happened amidst liberal (personal) research while reading a review of "The Geography of Thought" (by Richard Nisbett), in which a passage discussed it's views in relation to those of "WEIRDest People" (by Joseph Henrich). I didn't back up the more modest interpretation with sources for the available sources were (already) enough: more enough to the modest claim than to the grandiose one I corrected. My claim (in text) was not "exclusivity of smaller population instead of larger" as interpreted, but rather "data generalizable to smaller population rather of larger". No new source for there was no new data, nor quotation. More discussion on the matter may yet happen, but the already mentioned data do not support the stronger claim. That's why I edited it. Please revert the reversion. More info may even be added, if it seemed like the writing needed improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.9.232.66 (talk) 07:25, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hui people being 50% Hanafi, 20% Wahhabism, 20% Sufism is nonsensical

Sorry that I forgot to explain why.

The part where it says 50% Hanafi, 20% Sufism, 20% Wahhabism is misleading. Because most Sufis in China adhere to Hanafi jurisprudence, Sufism are not a jurisprudence. So it's wrong to separate Hanafi from Sufism. Think of Sufism as a dimension of Islam. For example, there's around 90 million members of Nahdlatul Ulama in Indonesia, that's around half of the Muslim population in Indonesia, but the catch is, Nahdlatul follows the Shafi'i jurisprudence but they're also Sufi orient.

Secondly, no Hui Muslims identify themselves as Wahhabi, so I removed 20% Wahhabism. Even the Saudis don't identify themselves as Wahhabi, it is actually blasphemous term to use because it is one of Allah's 99 names. It means the 'The Absolute Bestower'. You may say 'but it is named after a person'. But he was named Abd-Al-Wahhab which means servant of the absolute bestower.

There's a fundamentalist form of Islam in China that is equivalent to Wahhabism called Yihewani, but they adhere to Hanafi jurisprudence aswell.

So yeah, again. Sorry for not explaining it. So in conclusion Hui Muslims are predominantly Sunni who mostly follows Hanafi jurisprudence. This is the most accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OghuzDynasty (talk • contribs) 01:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dog Day Afternoon

Hello. I recently reverted an edit you accepted on the entry of Dog Day Afternoon. The reason is that I opened a request for comment on the talk page of the article about the very issue of the use of pronouns for that particular character. The article was protected to avoid the constant reversion of said pronouns. Now, I wanted to ask you if there is any sort of template only visible in the editing area to make the editors/the edit reviewers aware of the ongoing discussion on the talk page (somehow people seem to be more interested in arbitrarily changing the information rather than discussing our options). Thanks in advance.--GDuwenHoller! 19:24, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GDuwen: I'd recommend asking for the page to be re-protected with a log entry explicitly mentioning the pronouns, since that shows up on the review interface, and potentially requesting an editnotice regarding the discussion. — csc^-1 19:54, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

large deletion of criticism from Guardian Council article

Hello and apologies, I am new to wikipedia in fact just having created an account to send this message. I noted that there was a large deletion from the article on the Guardian Council - specifically the section entitled "Criticism", with no cause given - and you were the last person to have edited it before the deletion. I was tempted to try to reinstate the removed material but not knowing how to do so properly, I do not want to risk causing any mess in the article. Perhaps you could take a look at it?

Ingush people

Thanks for your attention to this page. You may be interested in my opinion that the latest edit that you reverted appeared to be either a copyright violation of some sort or plagiarism in addition to other reasons for previous reverts by you and me. This is because there are footnote numbers but no corresponding footnotes. For what it's worth. Donner60 (talk) 02:32, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations such as names of organizations or products need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:24, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

Bashkortostan is among the early autonomous national republics of modern Russia. The autonomy of Bashkortostan (Bashkurdistan in that date) was proclaimed on November 15, 1917. The Agreement of the Central Soviet Power with the Bashkir Government on the Soviet Autonomous Bashkiria of March 20, 1919, regularized the foundation of Bashkir Soviet Republic. According to the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of June 14, 1922, Bashkortostan became the Autonomous Bashkir Socialist Soviet Republic. In the 2nd half of the 1920s Bashkortostan became the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. According to the Declaration of State Sovereignty of October 11, 1990, Bashkortostan became Bashkir Soviet Socialist Republic and since February 25, 1992, has the current name.[3] 109.187.81.78 (talk) 02:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Faendalimas: It appears to just be some IP vandal I was reverting (on WS actually) whose block expired. — csc^-1 19:08, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok cool, I was unclear that it may have been an attempted block evasion from someone here. The edits to your talk have been reverted and the block reinstated for another month. Thanks Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 19:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

UK nationalities

Hi Arccosecant, I noticed your reversion of [edit], because I have just reverted a very similar change on the same page. But I wonder if there is any consensus about UK nationality - should English/Welsh/Scottish nationality be rolled up into UK nationality? Here in NZ, we don't have such problems :) Kiwipete (talk) 05:32, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RealOmarNavarro

Do you feel that Blue's Clues is looking to indoctrinate children or is drag queen propaganda? That the new Cruella film could ruin a childhood with a "flamboyant gay character?"

If you disagree with those 3 statements undo your deletions. All I wrote is he writes inflammatory comments, and is Anti LGBTQIA. He does, and proudly is.

@RealOmarNavarro has said those, and worse Phil16723 (talk) 00:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC) Phil16723 (talk) 00:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Updated scripts

Twinkle has a number of improvements, including that most watchlist defaults now make use of the new temporary watchlist feature. Other changes include rollbacks treating consecutive IPv6 editors in the same /64 range as the same user, adding a preview for shared IP tagging, a preference for watching users after CSD notification, and for sysops, the ability to block the /64 and link to a WP:RfPP request, and new copyright blocks default to indefinite.

My apologies for this long-overdue issue, and if I missed any scripts.
Hopefully going forward we can go back to monthly releases - any help would be appreciated. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Phil De Luna

Hi Arccosecant. Thank you for watching for vandalism on Draft:Phil De Luna. There seems to be a single anonymous editor that's been after it since it was created.

I was wondering if you know much about the AfC process and if there are admins who will look at listed drafts after they've been polished? The wait times are quite intimidating! Greenbound (talk) 01:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!

Updated scripts

SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

Pending requests

Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

Wikipedia:User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.

New scripts

Ahecht:
- draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
- massmove, a modified User:Plastikspork/massmove.js that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes.
- watchlistcleaner removes missing pages (redlinks), redirects, pages you haven't edited recently, and/or pages you've never edited from your watchlist.
Awesome Aasim:
- Infiniscroll adds infinite scrolling to user contributions, page histories, and log pages.
- Quick create allows for the fast creation of red-linked pages with two clicks.
Caburum:
- UTCclock adds a clock displaying the current UTC time.
Chlod:
- CopiedTemplateEditor, mainly for CCI case handlers, allows graphically editing a talk page's {{copied}} templates.
DaxServer:
- BooksToSfn adds a portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one {{cite book}} inside a <ref>...</ref> tag block into an {{Sfn}}.
FlightTime:
- OneClickArchiver is a custom version of User:Technical_13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver which doesn't prepend {{Clear}} to the top of each section on the archive page.
Jon Harald Søby:
- diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
- warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
JPxG:
- PressPass adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.
- CurrentSwitcher gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns.
- TrackSum lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like {{track listing}} and get total runtimes.
Nardog:
- CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
- IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.
- TemplatePreviewGuard warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh:
- ContribsTabVector adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the Vector skin.
- CopyvioChecker adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except Special (Vector skin only).
- LiveDiffLink is a version of Equazcion's LiveDiffLink which shows a wikilink instead of a URL.
- QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its page on Fandom.
Novem Linguae:
- DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.
- NotSoFast highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly.
- UserRightsDiff concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing Special:UserRights.
- VoteCounter displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc.
- WatchlistAFD automatically watchlists the AFDs of any pages you AFC accept or NPP patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing.
P.T.Đ:
- TwinkleMobile enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin).
Qwerfjkl:
- editRedirect adds a → link after redirects to edit them.
- RegExTypoFix, a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for User:Joeytje50/RETF.js.
- talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: |C|TB (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a {{talkback}} notice). It also adds a [copy] link next to section headers.
Rublov:
- diff-link shows "copy" links on history and contributions pages that copy an internal link to the diff (e.g., Special:Diff/1026402230) to your clipboard when clicked.
Rummskartoffel:
- auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
- generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
- share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
- show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
Tol:
- VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a {{citation needed}} tag.
Venkat TL:
- ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
Vukky:
- StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block notices

Don't worry about restoring block notices - users are permitted to remove them as they wish. Declined unblock requests are a different matter - they have to stay, but if a blocked user wants to lose the block notice, that's up to them. Best Girth Summit _(blether) 00:52, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, usually used to such users' talk page edits right after a block being far less constructive. — csc^-1 01:03, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know what you mean! My general rule of thumb is just to let blocked users blank their talk pages, or even vent, unless they cross certain lines: I see pinging as harassment; hate speech of any kind is unacceptable in any context; and policy prohibits the removal of declined unblock notices. Other than that, I'm happy to let a blocked troll to remove my block notice, or even to call me an asshole if they want - reverting them kind of gives them the satisfaction of letting them know I've read what they wrote, if you know what I mean. The spirit of WP:RBI and WP:DENY is basically 'ignore them and they're more likely to go away'; I agree with that sentiment. Cheers Girth Summit _(blether) 19:23, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
