My Work

I help out with edit filters, do anti-vandalism/spam/LTA work (locally and globally), and on occasions, content work on this project. I am a member of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team (SWMT). I hold the following permissions below:

ALL PROJECTS:

• A global abuse filter helper. (verify)

SPECIFIC PROJECTS:

• an edit filter helper on the English Wikipedia. (verify)
• a rollbacker on the English, Spanish, and Simple English Wikipedias.
• a patroller on Meta.

About Me

Hello, everyone. I am Codename Noreste (previously 64andtim), and this project is my home wiki. In real life, I am a dude who currently attends college, and whom is interested in business and information technology majors.

Outside of Wikimedia, I am available on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Discord under the name codenamenoreste, and I'm sometimes active on several test wikis, where I go under the same name on Test Wiki, for example.

You may call me Codename Noreste, Codename, Noreste or simply CN; if you encounter another user with the name Codename (or another Codename Noreste elsewhere), don't assume they are me.

One more thing, I am a mentor, and if you are a new user in need of help, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.

All questions, all answers

Who are you?

Backstory As 64andtim, my first edit to this project was creating a user page with some userboxes and a sentence. My second edit included this diff. Some people may call this a mistake, but I was a very new user at the time, and I was trying to help, instead of doing more harm than good. After installing RedWarn, fighting vandalism and spam couldn't get any easier than that, but sometimes (and rarely) I make some kind of mistake by accident. Nowadays, I no longer use RedWarn, nor Ultraviolet. When I got rollback enabled on my account, I've started using tools and scripts that require rollback to fight vandalism and spam much easier and faster than if I were to manually revert or undo such edits. I use Selective Rollback to massively revert a user's edits (mass/rapid vandalism or spam), add an edit summary when I revert, and others. Next, I became a pending changes reviewer, which allows me to review and revert edits on pages protected by pending changes. My CVUA training page can be found here, and while you might see some errors I have made, that training greatly enhanced my ability to identify vandalism in which it requires my judgment and senses.

What is your work on this wiki?

Anti-vandalism/spam/LTA work I use a variety of anti-vandalism tools to assist me in keeping this project clean from disruption, and I also use SWViewer to watch out for disruption on other projects, as well as the abuse log on Meta. For other stuff related to anti-vandalism and spam, I sometimes encounter grossly offensive/libelous or promotional usernames (both will obviously have to be reported if they vandalize or promote themselves). For long-term abusers, I know some of them and I can tell by their activities and habits. While reverting their edits, I deny recognition to them, and even blank their talk pages. Sometimes, when they vandalize other projects, I report them to SRG and revert their edits, if I can find any. Content work Yes, you get the point. When I don't feel like reverting bad stuff on this project, I sometimes do content work to save me from boredom (e.g. adding references, rewriting, etc.). Edit filters I respond to false positives from edit filters on Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports and participate at the edit filter noticeboard. I would highly recommend using FilterDebugger if you want to debug on what caused false positives, or to test some conditions and/or regex without being an edit filter helper or manager. I use that script to create and/or test some new conditions, and I would have not written some filters with it. The community has trusted me to be an edit filter helper, and much later (around six months at the minimum), I plan to step up to EFM to create and modify filters. Yes, my last couple of nominations have failed because of some issues I'd prefer not to talk about here, but over time, I've gained some more trust while helping out with more filter reports with responses, assisting with creations of filters and regex modifications, and more anti-vandalism/spam work. In addition, the Meta community has also trusted me to view all filters on all projects, and I have written some global filters on Meta. Speedy deletions For speedy deletions, I mostly tag promotional user pages under G11 and other user pages/sandboxes that apply under U5. I also tag under G5 sometimes.

Questions and answers 2

Have you been blocked? I was blocked for one week because somebody thought I engaged in a good and bad hand sockpuppetry situation, but that wasn't the case at all; that LTA made multiple accounts to impersonate me and other users, and they were all blocked indefinitely but that included me (blocked for one week) and my alternative account (blocked indefinitely). Hours later, both of my legitimate accounts were unblocked per some discussion about my block on my talk page. You may wish to view my block log if you want. Anyway, goodbye to my no-block streak. Have you done paid editing? I have never edited Wikipedia for pay, and I will never plan to do so in the future, unless if stated otherwise. Do you have any alternative accounts? I operate an alternative account, Códigonombre Alguien (talk · contribs), which is used on public computers, unsecure networks, and/or when my main account could be potentially compromised. For security purposes, I have enabled two-factor authentication on my main account, and on all projects. How can I leave you a message? If you want to leave me a message, I will be more than happy to respond to your message on my my user talk page, or if you have any sensitive concerns, emailing me is preferred (as with other human editors, I may sometimes make mistakes). If you leave me a message in Spanish, I will reply in that language in my talk page here or on the Spanish Wikipedia.

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar Thanks for all you do in counter-vandalism... keep it going! Volten001 ☎ 10:11, 14 July 2023 (UTC) The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar Thank you for reverting all of that disruption made by SophiaS333. You were extremely quick with catching it all, which in turn keeps Wikipedia accurate, reliable, and healthy. Wikipedia needs contributors like you, and I really hope that you stay with us for many years in the long-term. I created my account when I was bored in the High School library during class, and I was disruptive too (seriously, look at my first contributions). At the time, I never imagined that, almost 17 years later, I'd be who I am on Wikipedia to this day. Please keep up the great work, and if you enjoy what you're doing here, PLEASE take off your jacket and stay awhile. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC) Thanks for reverting that mass ping on that SPI case I opened!
