Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Magnesium nitride. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

Do you rely strongly on automated classification?

[edit]

Hi Magnesium nitride, I'll come straight to the point.

I suspect that you might be relying blindly, or at least heavily, on the machine classification of edits provided in the "recent changes" feed. Is this correct? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:14, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: Yes to a great degree. Thanks
Please do not actively monitor me, cuz (Magnesium nitride) Mg3N2 causes serious eye irritation. ORES is pretty efficient AFAIR (If someone didn't messed it up like before). And why https://github.com/DatGuy1/Filter-reporter/blob/master/afreporter.py#L122 ? not event-streams ? I am new on wikipedia,but a regular Semantic MediaWiki contributor. -- Magnesium nitride (talk) 04:51, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see; you are scientifically and technically competent. You also don't need to be "monitored", but perhaps "mentored", which I'd happily do if you like. Would you, for example, mind having a look at User talk:LoganTheWatermelon and taking the time to read all that happened there? The yellow cookie box is especially important.
In a nutshell, please be careful, and use the edit summary to describe why you have chosen to revert an edit. "Undoing problematic edit" is not a sufficient reason to undo edits that are not obviously malicious, like Special:Diff/931952038. Only intentional disruption is vandalism; unintentional disruption, political extreme bias, editing tests and even edit warring are not. Specifically, please have a look at WP:ROLLBACKUSE, which describes the only cases such a generic edit summary is acceptable.
For a list of usually good reasons to undo edits, you may like to have a look at Wikipedia_talk:Huggle/Config.yaml, which contains a list of useful edit summaries for replacing "Undoing problematic edit" in almost all non-vandalism situations.
When reverting an edit, please also take a moment to warn the user about the problem, on their talk page. A tool called Twinkle will be available in the preferences, section "Gadgets", when your account is more than 4 days old. It will help greatly with this task.
If any questions arise, please let me know. Good luck and have fun!
Best regards
