Fehufanga

Fehufanga (talk · contribs · count)



Hello, I'm Fehufanga. I've been an admin on Simple for just a bit over two years now, and an oversighter for over a year. I am here to nominate myself for checkusership. Over the years, Simple has been faced with serial sockpuppeteers, from vandals using throwaway accounts to UPE account farms creating promotional articles. I have relied on behavioural patterns to determine cases of sockpuppetry. The checkuser tool will help me with dealing with cases of sockpuppetry that are harder to track. I am knowledgeable in computer networks and am familiar with how IP addresses work. As an oversighter, I deal with personal information that cannot be shown publicly, I know better than to disclose these. I am familiar with and have signed the confidentiality agreement. I also have cross-wiki experience that is sometimes necessary when dealing with sockpuppets on this project. Thank you for your consideration.— *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 12:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Weak support Experienced editor, already an oversighter, no reason I can think of to oppose. However, I am a bit sceptical of the need for more CUs, hence why I am weak supporting.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 13:12, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We really do need another active CU. There is a lot of work to do. fr33kman 18:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support Back when I was a global sysop before I was a steward, I found having CU here and GS went well together because I came across a fair few smaller wiki vandals that had also hit simplewiki and was able to confirm them as socks using our DB and then block their small wiki socks and/or report them to the stewards.

  11. 110% Support - Fehufanga does amazing work here blocking the trolls/vandals and so without a shadow of doubt they'd be an asset to the CU team. Honestly can't think of a more perfect candidate for CU than Fehufanga tbh, Easy support. –Davey2010Talk 18:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Support I feel my initial comment addressing the amount of checkusers we have might have been misinterpreted – Fehufanga is no doubt an excellent candidate, I was simply unsure on expanding our number of checkusers and didn't want to alter the existing team. That being said, I don't think this needs to be addressed by any change to the existing inactive admins policy – the two checkusers inactive for the moment have done an exceptional amount of CheckUser work in the fairly recent past and will likely return to activity in the future. Peterdownunder also commented his intention to resign as checkuser. This was all a minor concern I had, not about Fehufanga of course, that I don't think was a big deal. Fehufanga is already experienced and active in cross-wiki and oversight work and would make a great fit into the checkuser team, this is a very obvious support. --Ferien (talk) 19:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Fehufanga Aren't you a global sysop? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 12:55, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cactusisme I am, but I feel that that's not too relevant with my chcekusership request.— *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 12:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I know, just a question. Sorry Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 13:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cactusisme Global sysops don't have anything to do with checkusers (global or local).- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 13:01, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, but the two roles can overlap as I mentioned above. fr33kman 18:01, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me stress that this is a brilliant editor for the role and I do not intend to oppose this request, especially not based on the candidate. If the checkusers say there is a need then I will believe them and agree there is likely a need, but I do understand the concerns from FusionSub. Should this request pass, a majority of administrators will also be checkusers (8 out of 15). I appreciate we are currently at a low administrator count overall over the past few years, but that is still a really large amount. It'd put as as the wiki with the third most checkusers of all Wikimedia projects, tied with MetaWiki, but they have 68 administrators. Itwiki have over 100 admins for 10 checkusers, and enwiki have 850 for 50 checkusers. I don't think it's unreasonable to consider that we would have a disproportionate number of checkusers for our wiki, even accounting for the abuse we get from enwiki. It's not that I don't trust Fehufanga with the CheckUser information of course, but that that sort of information should be in as few people's hands as possible. --Ferien (talk) 19:29, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not that there aren't enough people with the flag, it's that there isn't enough people using the tool. For RFCU it's basically almost just me and Eptalon servicing the requests. The semi-active admins may be editing but they're not using the tool. Bsadowski1 and Vermont are using the tool regularly but those uses are almost always xwiki/lta/SPI uses. I know Eptalon works full time and he's finding hard to keep up as am i. Each request can take minutes to over an hour to complete. Another CU working the queue will help out a lot. fr33kman 19:38, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps a policy should be written that'd state what criteria would denote an in-active CU and when the tool should be removed as we did with the inactive admins policy. fr33kman 19:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fr33kman the policy globally is Any user account with CheckUser status that is inactive for more than one year will have their CheckUser access removed (m:Checkuser policy). If I remember correctly, local policies can be stricter, such as mandating a reelection every six month or so, I believe this is the case in some wikis. — *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 22:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I know the global policy, I propose it be stricter policy locally. I can assure you that because of our closer relationship with enwiki we get more than should be our statical share of the CU actions per month. When I was a steward I noticed that wikis with similar size and language group gets far less investigations monthly. I think asking each user with the check user flag should be active enough to do at least one time using CU is not to much or unfair to ask in the spirit of our RfCU elections. The people taking park in the election expect that the user would actively use them. And not hold off 9 months or whatever doesn't have the time to take a case on RfCU now and again is unfair. I'm proposing that we RfDCU those haven't been an '''active''' CU during that time has not shown a need for the hat. You shouldn't have it. It's not a beauty contest , (joke)(joke). Seriously every CU could proform a set number of CU actions during 6 months .I proposed [[WP:Inactive administrators]] and that has deadmined a few admins. I hate to say it, "use it or lose it". It's not fair two or sometimes three people on average, have to exclusively service RfCU requests. We're volunteers 🙂 fr33kman 00:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with the above. I would prefer/like to step down as CU as it is a role that has become more technically complex than I am prepared to deal with. I think it is a tool that requires a more active editor than I am able to do in the foreseeable future. Peterdownunder (talk) 10:30, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just saying it seems like User:Davey2010/RedWarn/Default Warnings is in the possible copyright violations category. This seems to be be because it has JSON containing this:

"name": "Removing {{copyvio}} template from articles" 

I am fairly confident that is not your intent, but I don't know what parser you use with that JSON so I'm not sure how to stop the template from being transcluded there. — 76.212.74.243 (talk) 22:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @76.212.74.243, Many thanks for letting me know I had no idea it showed there - I've blanked the page for now, Thanks again, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Preventing the erasure of vandal edits

Short question

[change source]

Just curious, have you thought of returning to WM Commons? It has been over a year since your indef block there. I apologise if this question upset you. A1Cafel (talk) 09:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @A1Cafel, Many thanks for your comment,
In short no - They weren't interested in unblocking me in August and I highly doubt anything's changed since to be honest. And plus they'd no doubt use the block on here to say "he's clearly not learned his lesson" or some bs excuse, so yeah unless they unblock me as time served then my block expiration date there won't be changing anytime in my lifetime unfortunately,
I of course regret what I said and that I'm the only person responsible for my words 110% but in some ways I also feel resentful at how I was treated or how it was handled - It just felt like "Oh he swore me, indef for him" and even 2 months later that didn't change despite me apologising and saying I would do things differently,
But yeah no I'm happy without Commons to be honest, Of course I'd love to edit there again but too much has been said and done and that bridge has unfortunately been burnt,
I'm happy enough on here and EN so it's all good :), Have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IceTre Request

[change source]

Discussion closed. Please continue this on the RFD page. –Davey2010Talk 11:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hello there, about 12 days ago “IceTre” was nominated for deletion and in the most recent reply to you on the “IceTre” deletion talk page I gave absolute without a doubt proof of the subject’s notability (I was able to prove that the subject has released two or more albums on a major record label / or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable.) There has been no response from anyone in 5 days so I am asking for you to please grant acceptance of the subject’s wiki. Since it’s been 5 days after the 17th when a decision was to be made I fear that it may become forgotten about. I do not wish to burden you with this. If you can close the request out and grant its acceptance to stay then I can continue to work on the subjects wiki and add in more sources to keep the page in healthy and proper condition and you can further continue your work here on Wiki and outside of it as well. Please let me know if that is agreeable. Thank you Stephenbestk28 (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Stephenbestk28 Davey is not and admin and cannot close this discussion, please wait for and admin to look into this. Thanks Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 03:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephenbestk28 adding on, most of the community think this article should be deleted. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 03:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't sure if they were the admin or not. It's the communities duty to feel that way and it's my duty to convince them otherwise. That's how this works but if my evidence / proof is not being taken into consideration or being ignored then that shows a clear bias and unfair practices.
Question, did you look at the evidence provided or did you simply comment without looking into the evidence? The subject released two or more albums on a major record label under Guideline #5 in the Music Notability Guideline. I proved that the subject did release music on a major record label thus the evidence was provided.
In court you have to show up to testify otherwise your statements are nullified. They made the statements for it to be deleted but then when I provided evidence on why it's notable then I hear nothing back which renders their statements null.
If someone wants me to provide evidence and I provide evidence and they don't say anything about it then that mean I sufficiently provided evidence to a degree where it was suitable enough for no response.
Ironically speaking, none of those people who nominated it to be deleted could actually prove that the subject isn't notable: they simply raised their concerns but they didn't say anything that wasn't able to be provided with evidence. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn’t trying to say it was going to be deleted, I was just telling the community opinion and I am not related to this topic. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 04:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And also in order to make a solid case there has to be sufficient evidence to back up all claims so skimming over my paragraphs of information falls under unfair practices as well. There has to be impartial fairness behind the process which includes taking my evidence into consideration and weighing out both options.
I was able to prove notability for the subject and as that stands there should be no other hiccups based on that fact alone.
The community said the subject was guilty and my evidence proves the subject is innocent so if that's the case then how come this doesn't feel like a fair trial? I'm just simply using that example as a point reference. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Post this in the community discussion for the deletion Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 04:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stephenbestk28, As kindly noted by Cactus I'm not an admin so I don't have the final say here, I still maintain it should be deleted and wont be changing my mind, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In court they are allowed to poll the jury and find out why they voted guilty or not guilty. You asked for proof of notability, i gave it to you, and you still vote no so this seemingly is no longer about whether the subject is notable or not but it's about self preservation (aka sticking to your guns) and that you simply "don't like the wiki". This is no longer about notability. You are allowing yourself to stay unconvinced and that is okay but for the future do not ask for evidence only to deny it's existence when it's presented to you. There is no reason to be on a jury just to disrupt the process if nothing can be provided to change your mind. Stephenbestk28 (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not discuss about an RFD with on the user talk page, please write all this at the RFD discussion. Thanks. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 07:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't provided any evidence that the subject meets NMUSIC and GNG - All's you've done is given your opinion and not much else. Either way I'm closing this because I have no interest in further discussing it,
I will say this - I would invite you to check out the following articles Pyramids FC TV, MIUI, 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC), and COSAFA Cup - All 4 articles ended up at RFD and all 4 were obviously kept because they were notable, I expanded and sourced those articles too - In short if the subject is notable It's a keep, if it's not notable then it gets deleted,
So you can peddle along with this "I don't like the wiki" as much as you like - I don't care for the subject, I care about article inclusion and keeping articles that are notable. Have a great day. –Davey2010Talk 11:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, there's something else I need to tell you. Profanity, sexual themes, nudity, and all other things are not allowed in any Wikipedia, especially the Simple English Wikipedia (this one). If somebody will put any of these in a Wikipedia page (for example Oijfeaoijgeagea), his/her change will be reverted and he/she will probably get blocked. For example, Oijfeaoijgeagea got blocked indefinitely after doing some disruptive editing.
I don't know any news articles that can be used as a citation for some cast members. If there's one I know, I will return. If there aren't any news articles I know, then there is no desire to return. Thanks and have a nice day. 93.33.22.207 (talk) 12:19, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh okay Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 12:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the final word: if any profanity, sexual themes, nudity, etc. is found in a Wikipedia page, it will be deleted and somebody might block the man who inserted one of those things I've mentioned earlier. Bye! 93.33.22.207 (talk) 12:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Davey. I noticed that you did a change to Ice Age (2002 movie), and here's what you did: you copied and pasted the cast list of that movie from the English Wikipedia. In addition, there are some voice actors that were not mentioned in the English Wikipedia:

All of these voice actors are credited in the ending credits of that movie. This is all I can tell you for now. Thank you so much and I hope you have a nice day. 5.180.207.80 (talk) 17:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've reinstated your edits as you're indeed correct they did voice those characters too, –Davey2010Talk 18:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good job! In addition, you said: "Appreciate this isn't the normal way of citing however bar end credits there's nothing else confirming these and obviously I cannot link to said credits as they're copyright violations anyway"
Have a nice day! 93.40.82.17 (talk) 06:10, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks and no worries, Have a nice day too, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 10:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there I just wanted to say that the edits that were provided were up to date edits. McClanahan died in 2010 not 2024. Details were provided. For Scorsese he directs more than just movies if you take a look at his filmography. The information on the rappers are currently up to date also. The information was outdated. If you have any concerns leave a message on my talk page. Thank you 108.2.126.127 (talk) 14:38, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 108.2.126.127 (talk, Please accept my sincere apologies, I saw your edits to the Busta Rhymes article and compared it with the English Wikipedia version and one addition wasn't in the infofox there so I assumed you were a vandal, Having gone through your contributions I can see you are in fact removing vandalism not introducing it so please accept my sincere apologies, I've removed the warning from your page too, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 15:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism per contrib

[change source]

Is this really a good edit summary for reverting edits? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 10:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you use this. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 10:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Cactusisme, Thank you for reverting the vandalism it's greatly appreciated, Do you have diffs of me saying this because I don't recall ever saying this ? (I remember copypasting a previous editors edit summary about pov pushing),
To answer the question - "Vandalism (per Davey?)" should generally be avoided as it implies you don't actually know if it is vandalism or not, I always compare with the English Wikipedia - if the edit isn't there then I'll revert but sometimes you also need to check the page history at En in case the editor has sneakily added the same edit there too,
But yeah once is fine but I would avoid using that summary all the time, If you're not sure just don't revert, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 11:21, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010

 this--Cactus🌵 spiky ouch  07:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply] 
@Cactusisme That wasn't per anyone - That was an automatic edit summary provided by RW and if you look carefully you'll see it says "Vandalism (from contribs)" not "Vandalism (per contribs)" .... From and Per are two different things entirely...... –Davey2010Talk 11:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Major Edit Denied?

[change source]

Hello. I came here because I was expanding the Simple Wiki's Hailey's On It!, and when I was done, a Captcha came on, and I answered it. Later it said that it was denied. I went out and looked at the abuse filter log and the description was LTA 351. I don't know what that means, and I don't get why they wouldn't let me edit the page. Can you make the edit for me?

Hi @2601:402:4402:61F0:E2DA:D876:6031:1D80, LTA 351 is hidden so I unfortunately don't know what you did or said that resulted in your edit being prevented, You might want to consider creating an account as once you reach certain thresholds you won't keep being prevented from creating articles :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Amaryllidinae You're welcome :), The world has changed since I first created this account so you probably have a thousand more hoops than I ever did,
I would suggesting reading en:Wikipedia:User access levels#Overview and then en:WP:AUTOCONFIRM as those are applicable to you, The more you edit and the more days you're generally on here the easier it becomes I think, You'll probably still encounter issues with an account but I would hope life would be more easier now than it was on an IP :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

my edits on the 'list of Wikipedias' article and its reversion

[change source]

The reason I edited the 'list of Wikipedias' article and copied extra information from the English Wikipedia's entry on that article about that topic while replacing some information on this Wikipedia edition's entry on that article with that one's, is to make this article's information more consistent with that one, while using simple Basic English. The first time I did that, @Kk.urban: reverted my edit the following day and told me that edit was too complex, so I made a similar edit six months later while simplifying certain sentences to the best of my abilities. Seeing how you also reverted my edits to that article four days and a half later, a few days ago, and told me the previous revision was simpler, why do you think that, and what do you think I can do to make the information I copy from the English Wikipedia's entry on that article simpler? PK2 (talk) 10:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sentences/paragraphs, images used, tables .... everything was imho over complicated and complex, that all being said I'm not exactly thrilled about List of Wikipedias#Wikipedia edition codes existing either however that's been there for over 10 years seemingly without issue,
I'll be honest I don't have any helpful advice other than "try to keep words simple and sentences short", Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 13:23, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Anachronistic" Categories

[change source]

Hello @Davey2010, I need a secondary opinion about an issue. User:Gotitbro recently removed many categories from a number of articles, citing them as anachronistic in the edit summaries. Could you review these diffs and let me know if you find these categories problematic? I’d appreciate it. I don’t think User:Gotitbro wants to follow my advice and build consensus on the talk pages, and my continued reverts would only lead to edit warring. Here are the diffs: (Special:Diff/9750197, Special:Diff/9750186, Special:Diff/9750208, Special:Diff/9750209, Special:Diff/9750246, Special:Diff/9750250, Special:Diff/9750253, Special:Diff/9750257, Special:Diff/9750263, Special:Diff/9750276, Special:Diff/9750289 (Somehow Category:Monarchs of Afghanistan was left alone, but Pakistani monarchs was removed as "anachronistic"), Special:Diff/9750295, there are still lots more, as they spent a significant amount of time removing my contributions. – Cyber.Eyes.2005Talk 14:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cyber.Eyes.2005, Personally I would say no they're fine but maybe there's something here I'm missing or unaware of so agreeing with @Gotitbro it would be best to seek opinions on the Simple talkpage from people who know more about this subject than I do, Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 15:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closing RFD Requests

[change source]

Hi, I'm Magniolioideae (just that I lost the password for it). Are non-admins able to close RFD requests when the week is up? Astera🪻 talk edits 15:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Asteradeae, only admins should close RfD requests, even in keep cases. There isn't much harm in closing RfDs say when an admin has forgot to close it after quick deletion, but determining the consensus on RfD should be up to administrators to deal with. The most recent discussion about this was at Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 150#Bring back WP:NAC. --Ferien (talk) 16:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferien Okay. Thank you. Astera🪻 talk edits 16:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Asteradeae, Keeps/Deletes should always be closed by admins however regarding the closure of RFDs where the admin has forgotten; Truth be told I don't know, @Ferien says it's fine, Other admins say it isn't,
The exact same is applied with warning vandals, some admins block on sight, others expect you to go through the warning cycle for each vandal after a block,
There's so much conflicting information on here all thanks to... yeah I'll leave it there, Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 17:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Davey2010 It's fine, thanks for your help. @Ferien Thank you for your help. Astera🪻 talk edits 18:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RedWarn

[change source]

You use redwarn too? Is there an error message saying "Cannot load rule database" for you? (This is Haumeon, I changed my name) SolarX 19:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Haumeon, I do and nope no error messages here, You may of installed something correctly somewhere?, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:37, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I installed RedWarn through user scripts. SolarX 19:38, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Haumeon Ah yeah you can't install Redwarn that way unfortunately, You would need to create all of the relevant pages here which isn't easy tbh, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:44, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, ok.
Also regarding what happened two weeks ago, I heard you were removing shortdesc from many pages, enough to make an admin want to give you a flood flag. How did you find all those pages? I checked on Wikiproject Check Wikipedia and found nothing regarding this. SolarX 19:47, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, They're at Category:Pages with short description, They're not on WPC and tbh you don't need WPC to remove it - I only use it because if I open a ton of Chrome tabs at once it slows my laptop down whereas tons of WPC windows doesn't affect it much, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:42, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heights

[change source]

People keep adding heights to people who aren't athletes or models 98.115.58.61 (talk) 17:16, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know I keep routinely removing these too, Unfortunately I'm not an admin so limited as to what I can do, If you're reverting the same person then report them to WP:VIP, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:18, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm removing it also 98.115.58.61 (talk) 17:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) I've just gone and blocked an IP range that has done this to many articles, that should counter the problem, but there seem to be a few different IPs doing it. I've reverted the ones that were easy to rollback all of, going to try and have a look at the articles properly later tonight. --Ferien (talk) 17:28, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Heights should be mentioned if the person is either an athlete or a model otherwise it shouldn't be mentioned 98.115.58.61 (talk) 17:31, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for your help @Ferien it's always greatly appreciated :),
98 - You're correct - Of course height may be included if there's notability around their height (which in this case there isn't) but yeah If they're not a model or athlete then no - heights don't need to be used, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:42, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, I nominated you for adminship. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 12:54, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cactusisme, I wished you had asked me first because I have no desire to be an admin, I much prefer being a normal editor, Thanks though I appreciate the kind gesture, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:57, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

range for VIP report

[change source]

Hi Davey, I looked at the IP range that would cover the IPs who've kept making the disruptive edits on Bus, Truck etc. The smallest range to contain all the IP addresses appears to be a /38 range which is too wide for a IPv6 block. If the issue gets worse, please feel free to request semi-protection for the pages in question. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 16:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ferien, Ah okay no worries, Yeah I certainly wouldn't want random people being caught up in the block, I just spotted the similarities at the last minute so chucked it in there just in case lol, Thanks for your message, Take care, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 16:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

observation

[change source]

Not that it's necessarily my business, but I noticed in dealing with the QD request on your userpage: the top template on RfDs is just {{archive top}} substituted, with the corresponding {{archive bottom}}, if that's helpful at all :) --Ferien (talk) 22:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ferien, Oh ..... okay thank you for letting me know lol, Because it uses the "did/did not succeed" category I just assumed it was some sort of template or script that did this, Never once thought it was the atop/abot templates so thank you so much!,
Alls I need to do now is buy a keyboard with the | symbol and then I can finally get rid of the box altogether :), Thanks again for letting know about the rfd template much appreciated :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) The category comes from the deleted/kept templates, btw --Ferien (talk) 06:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ooo never knew that either :O, Thanks for letting me know that's very kind of you :), Also @Ferien could I be a pain and ask that User talk:Davey2010/Discography be moved back to User talk:Davey2010/DiscographyCodes please? (the redirect can be deleted),
Thanks again for the insightful knowledge :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 16:58, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, happy to help :) --Ferien (talk) 17:00, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ferien You my friend are amazing thank you again :), Take care, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 17:03, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
