Hi VirusDontKill, it’s me but different ip also, can we be friends? 2001:569:7C55:9000:A09B:B595:B789:2231 (talk) 21:21, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi dear IP, I am not VirusDontKill, but please, do not try to make friends like this on the internet. We are all strangers here, you never know who is safe and who is not. Please, stop playing games / try to make friends this way. I only have your safety in my mind, I am not trying to be mean or anything, I am very sorry if I sound rude. I am also very sorry if I scared you. Please, stay safe on the Internet. 🙏 Best, Dream Indigo. (PS: I am not saying that VirusDontKill is dangerous or evil, I am saying that anyone on the Internet could be dangerous, even me). ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 23:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I won't do that again okay? Also, I'm the same person but different ip. 2001:569:7C55:9000:7103:BC14:26E8:FEB4 (talk) 00:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for understanding ☺️ Happy editing! ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 00:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to start anything but you do know that some viruses kill? BigKrow (talk) 23:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I know lol VirusDontKill (talk) 00:06, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey VirusDontKill, I’m the same person but different ip also, do you like to make new pages? They are fun right? 2001:569:7C55:9000:E45F:3D97:DC97:7D45 (talk) 18:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page you wrote, Mountain View Unit, has been selected for quick deletion. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. You can find more information about the reason here.

You get a cookie (I'm too lazy to find a commons photo of a cookie so if you would please insert a cookie in your reply and act like it was from me it would be much appreciated :) Thebest8382 (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thebest832: Haha, thanks for the cookie! By the way, if you have questions in the future you can use {{Helpme}} or post on Wikipedia:Simple talk. VirusDontKill (talk) 00:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yum, cookies! 2001:569:7C55:9000:D566:1137:C82A:A387 (talk) 17:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So I set my archives bot for 24h (a day) today, hoping that it would archive one of my talk messages, but it didn't. Why? Is it because it needs to be set for longer? I'm getting a bit tired of self-archiving. Maggie🌺 ^{talk edit} 23:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolioideae I think there are two reasons.

• First, the bot seems to work once per day, at 05:00 UTC (so about six hours from now).
• Second, your talk page setting says "minthreadsleft=4". That means it will only archive if there are more than four discussions on the page.

I see you've been changing " 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 05:59, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Yeah I'm quite active now. VirusDontKill (talk) 05:59, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait I was gonna say something else the internet cut my message in half XD 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was gonna say that you have been finding instances of "pitch" very quickly and linking them to pitch(music). How are you finding them so fast? Also sorry for disturbing you but is it a no-no to make common-typo redirects (i.e. adress to address)? Some IP user thought it wasn't good.🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:01, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I used Special:WhatLinksHere/Pitch. Also, I have a script in User:VirusDontKill/common.js which changes the color of links if they go to disambiguation pages, redirects, etc. So once I get to the page, I can easily locate the link that needs to be changed. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll find some common link error and fix it using this method. Though I don't know what. 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are a huge number that link to New York. I was working on them a few weeks ago. Most should either be changed to New York (state) or New York City. Also if you want to add this script, you can add it at User:Haumeon/common.js. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, you've already done that. :) VirusDontKill (talk) 06:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Do you have any ideas for some links that need to be changed? 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean, other than links to New York? VirusDontKill (talk) 06:10, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Also is there some documentation for this script? 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:10, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The script is from en:User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js so the documentation is at en:User:Anomie/linkclassifier. I don't know which disambiguation pages have the most links to them, but if you just browse through articles here, or click show any page, some of them will likely have disambiguation links. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:13, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now I'll leave you to do the precious work needed for the encyclopedia like you were before I asked the question =) 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Angerxiety approves of my redirects. 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 17:33, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I guess it's okay to make those redirects. VirusDontKill (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. And I take care to only make ones that could refer to either of two articles. 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 20:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about the typo redirects. They might be helpful, but if the redirect has several errors like "adres" for "address", I would probably be opposed to it. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:06, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, redirects with multiply typos might come up if someone searches for a different topic, and there are probably more useful things to do than creating a lot of them. But we'll see if other people respond on Simple Talk. VirusDontKill (talk) 06:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. Thanks. 🪐 Haumeon the Adventurer 🪐 06:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent point ("might come up if someone searches for a different topic").--@Haumeon: the topic about redirects would be (re-decided? or) decided by the weight of arguments, not by 'personal votes etc.'.--Now i have to save up my energy, for when i read "my" c. one, monthly, astronomy article (therefore i might not return to this thread, anytime soon). 2001:2020:315:AB3B:99BA:A06E:2047:B62B (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey VirusDontKill, where is your user page? 2001:569:7C55:9000:C925:38BD:8AC4:66A5 (talk) 00:16, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't have one. I'm mainly here to improve the project, not so much to discuss things. If you want to talk more, maybe other users will be more interested in that. VirusDontKill (talk) 00:20, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks, bye! 2001:569:7C55:9000:C925:38BD:8AC4:66A5 (talk) 00:47, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
