Disambiguation link notification for February 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gold Line (Los Angeles Metro), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Duarte and Azusa. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This was a positive edit. Please don't revert on sight without looking deeper into the matter: the edit summary was accurate, and the removed content had been added by a vandalism-only account. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

@10qwerty: Thanks. Apologies to both of you. All I originally saw while doing some recent changes patrol was seeing an unregistered IP alter that number without providing a different source. Zzyzx11 (talk) 01:46, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Trolling
Hey, in regards to stuff like this; you're welcome to react however you'd like, but my advice is to just ignore such bait and move on after reporting the account. Vandals crave attention first and foremost - usually because they have a hard time getting it elsewhere - and engaging them only feeds that infantile pursuit. Hope that makes sense! Best, m.o.p 05:00, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I was kinda going into this blind, as this was my first interaction on WP with a true troll/vandal. I also was getting a kick out of his immaturity, and as we know, WP isn't the place to be posting penises. Sorry for the trouble though. Thanks again for your help with this! Best, TJH2018 (talk) 22:21, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
FYI
Hello T. I wanted to let you know that the protection template that you added to DK's talk page was an error. When you check the log here you will see that the protection expired on the March 6. To get a protection restored a request has to be filed at WP:RFPP. A bot has already removed the template. Please note that I am not complaining - I just wanted to make you aware of how this works for future reference. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:07, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Marnette, thanks for the info. After the bot removed the temp, I went through and filed it on WP:RFPP. Thanks again! --TJH2018 (talk) 03:09, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Watch User:Darkknight2149 Burn in hell
Go to The edit history of Darkknight2149 and see all the havoc Ive been creating. However to our amusement, he doesnt seem to be doing anything as hes probably suffering mentallly after seeing all the dicks and cocks im posting all over his wall. Very helpless. And since I havent been rangedblock, more damage is yet to be caused just expanding his useless sandbox list. Regards Nolantron — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.89.197 (talk) 04:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
It's your immaturity that's amusing. It's Wikipedia dude. Give it a break. I will admit it is pretty funny to see a user put forth so much effort for something so stupid. I'm the one who has been reverting your changes, and got your IP's blocked. He will be the one opening a sock investigation on you. I mean, go and do something with your life instead of putting, and I'm quoting the file name here, 'erect Asian penises' on people's userpages. And I'll be there to back him up if you don't cease and desist. Have a pleasant evening. TJH2018
Try me Nolantron. Penises aren't going to stop me.
Hi TJH2018, I think I found another sock of this User:Nolantron, whom is posting inappropriate images on one of Darkknight2149's personal archive page. The user IP's is 76.65.200.163. I sent a report to the admins regarding this grotesque edit. Thanks 137.122.64.8 (talk) 21:10, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Not sure what your issue is with the wording - were you referring to the vandalism that had been added? I don't see any issues as I write this Rikster2 (talk) 01:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
@Rikster2 It was mainly the part with Benjamin Netanyahu and the part about him being a "boss". Sorry for the confusion!--TJH2018talk 02:01, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. Not sure of you follow college basketball, but this guys just had a HUGE game in a major upset. That article will probably be vandalized all night long. Rikster2 (talk) 02:10, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

pending changes reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
Thank you for trying to help, but please leave the tagging of sockpuppets to SPI clerks, CheckUsers, and others who are familiar with the subject. I just had to correct one account that you recently tagged. Thanks —DoRD (talk) 22:02, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
@User:DoRD I think as you've noticed I tend to get the two confused. Sorry about that. I'll stick to cases in which I am involved. --TJH2018talk 22:04, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

...but please remember the following guideline (from the box at the top of the page):
"5. Please do not leave a username warning template on a user's talk page and then immediately report them here. Either discuss it with the user, or report it for admin action, but don't do both at the same time."
I noticed you did both just now with 'the username accusing everyone reading the name of being one of two things' - with such serious violations, I'd usually go straight to the report.
In general though, you're doing a grand job, well done and thanks again! Mike1901 (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Reverting with a comment is against Wiki rules
Please give a reason for your revert as per guideline, your opinion is POV. Thanks.

Rollback granted
Hi TJH2018. 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.
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:New admin school/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! — MusikAnimaltalk 22:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Was it wrong what I did? Can I not redirect to another Wiki article? Sorry and thanks --Easter126 (talk) 21:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
You created an article that is purely a redirect, and it leads to a link outside of WP. --TJH2018talk 21:34, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, and now? Can you help out? What could we do? thanks --Easter126 (talk) 22:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing that up.
I'm just curious, what are "abuse reports"? And how do you find vandalism, undo it, and block the people doing it so fast? I want to do that. Sorry for vandalizing earlier. Kailey 2001 (talk) 22:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Might the talk page need a bit of protection at this point? It's obvious there is a canvassing effort from the subject's Twitter page. (Mind you I think the subject might also be notable enough to have the article, however I want it done the right way and not a mob of people coming in with POV edits. How I do not like election years on Wikipedia.) RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
No problem! Election years are brutal, no matter what side you're on. The Zodiac Killer himself and Mister Trump seem to be hot-topic issues on WP. Gives us more to do, though! --TJH2018talk 21:12, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Link Smurf
You don't need to notify the master account when you suspect it of sock puppetry. There isn't really a point at this stage. This is two years' worth of whack-a-mole with this person. Really, at this point, it's almost better to just report the accounts at meta:SRG and let the stewards globally lock the accounts. If we don't, he'll just use the enwp-blocked socks to create drama over on commons, meta, test.wiki or test2.wiki, among others.
Also, CheckUsers won't publicly state that an IP matches an account, so short of a WP:DUCK-type cases, there's no reason to report IPs at SPI. If you do report an IP, and only an IP, don't ask for a CU because it won't be granted. Imzadi 1979→ 22:34, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known otherwise. Also, the master account notification was selected by default, and I wasn't really paying attention either. Sorry for the trouble! I will take any future reports over to meta:SRG. Cheers! TJH2018talk 02:02, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for sticking up for me when thise assholes were trying to troll me. Out of curiousity, your userboxes say you live in LA, but also say your ISP is Charter. I thought Comcast, Time Warner, and Verizon were the ISPs in LA? (I used to be a hacker, so I kind of know what ISPs are where). Kailey 2001 (talk) 16:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
@Kailey 2001 I live in Altadena, California, which is a small town above Pasadena, California. Since Altadena is unincorporated, the county does bids for service providers. When we first moved to Altadena, we started off with AT&T, which sucked, and then ended up with Charter. It's pretty good, 60mbps, and we might be getting fiber. Also, FIOS was bought out by someone called Frontier Communications, so that is a change for the LA area. Anyways, if you ever need help, feel free to drop by! Cheers! TJH2018talk 16:27, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
I live in a small town too, in northern Florida, deepest part of the deep south, buckle of the Bible Belt. I'd get more specific but I don't want some asshole to try and ID me in real life and try to stalk me. I have three choices for internet: CenturyLink (bad), satelitte (worse), or dial-up (I feel sorry for those guys); Comcast is in my town, but not where I live. I've heard about that Frontier merger, they're taking Texas and Florida Verizon territories too. I put my money on CenturyLink taking Frontier in the future and deploying their 1 gbps service over Verizon's fiber, that would make them faster than cable like Google Fiber (where they actually have fiber, not here where they have shitty DSL). I'm at school right now, and I'm beginning to see this wiki is addicting. :) Kailey 2001 (talk) 17:38, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
@Kailey 2001 Rumour here is that Ma Bell will be putting in gigabit fiber, so I'm looking forward to it (except for the fact that AT&T sucks). I don't mind giving out the city which I live in, since there are over 180,000 people in it, and it's near impossible to find anyone in Los Angeles County. My dream ISP is Google Fiber, and man, would that be a dream come true. We have Chromebooks at our school, and I tend to edit a lot during school hours, and none of my teachers seem to mind! Thank you Pasadena Unified School District! Cheers! TJH2018talk 21:22, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
The only way we'll ever see fiber here is if something happenens to the underground copper network, which has proven to be hurricane proof. Maybe they'll get it in town, idk. I get 6 mbps, and I shouldn't complain because, while I envy some of my friends' speed on cable, I have other friends who have HughesNet or Wildblue and get slowed to nearly nothing if they hit their data cap. Then I have a friend whose family depends solely on 4G through Verizon, or that is until they hit their data cap and then they use Earthlink dial-up (the horror!) to avoid paying horrendous overage fees. One of the disadvantages of living out in the swamp is that the ISP choices are limited. Kailey 2001 (talk) 00:18, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Please slow down
I have concerns about your nominations for speedy deletion. During just part of this afternoon, I've reverted two of your nominations under U5 as being completely inappropriate. In each case, User:SusanaKavanaugh and User:Sniperman 21, you reverted the first edit of new editors. WP:Please do not bite the newbies. During the same period, you placed another completely inappropriate tags (U5 an U11) on a clearly marked draft that a prolific article editor creator (20 K edits) posted only two days earlier his user space (User:CHW/Sha Fei—the subject died in 1948. Also in the same period, one of your U5 tags was declined as "doesn't remotely meet the criterion".
Please have a concern for yourself—work carefully and develop a reputation as a responsible editor who puts quality of contribution first. You should consider limiting the number of speedy tags you consider in one session.. — Neonorange (talk) 23:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Ok, I understand your concerns. My problem is that when you work mainly with combatting vandalism on the New User Creation Page, you tend to get a lot of adverts from new users, of which I CSD. I usually don't venture out of that page, but I did today, looking at the new page log, and that was my mistake. Sorry for that! --TJH2018talk 01:46, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for replying. Perhaps you can consider spending some time on other projects as well as the two you mentioned. It is easy to develop a harsh attitude toward editors if much of what you see is vandalism. In particular, what worries me is that you placed speedy delete tags only minutes following the post. You did to a very experienced editor (who is on my way list) as well as to at least three editors in their first few edits—all four of the tags were completely inappropriate. You must not allow yourself to continue working without taking a break if you suspect you are making mistakes. — Neonorange (talk) 02:06, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I've removed the section as it's out of scope of ANI; I had already left a link to the threat procedure on the user's talk page. NE Ent 21:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

help please?
Hello,
My info on NM Commission for the Blind is going to be deleted. I am curious as to how I can put accurate info on Wikipedia. I notice that the Universities in New Mexico are listed with lots of promotional information. Why is this allowed? Am I using the wrong section or User? As my son would say, "George Confused."
Please steer me to to correct place to add information on a new topic that isn't already covered in Wikipedia.
