New article

I submitted a new article. BigKrow (talk) 02:10, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I responded in the article talk page. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 14:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

When there's a long string of edits that need to be reverted

Like here, instead of reverting them one by one, you can go back to the diff immediately before the first edit, like Special:Diff/4776306, click the edit tab, and then save. That reverts everything afterwards and is a lot faster. Also, you can warn disruptive users if you want, but there's no requirement to on this project. Thanks for your work both on countervandalism and evaluating submissions, it is really helpful. Heavy Water (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I figured there had to be a better way of doing that. Thanks for the tip and the kind words. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

My word!

This is horribly past due!

This award is presented to new reporters who have started 10 or fewer news articles.

Thanks! You know the interns routinely get pizza on Fridays, right? Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

And: if only for your perseverance, a Cool Cat award!

You deserve this!

You deserve this, you Cool Cat!

Hey BigKrow

@BigKrow, I was going to leave this message on your talk page, but there's some wonkiness with it. Your talk page is being redirected to a template. Was that vandalism?

The message is this: you don't have to delete the whole article Clear message after bomb threats three Tucson, Arizona area schools if you want to continue working on it. Just remove or completely change the last sentence and move on. Mistakes happen.

Let me know if you need help fixing your talk page.

@Michael.C.Wright It still needs a lot of work but, I hopefully got rid of the Copyvios??? Thanks. BigKrow (talk) 02:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

My user talk page

It was vandalised and now has nothing there anyway you or others might be able to restore? Thanks much. @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

The vandalism is a rat's nest for sure. Was there more content that you are missing beyond the comments here: [1]? Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

That vandal account created that page and overrided my whole talk page, yes that is my entire history of my talk page, thank you for trying to help! @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

It might take an admin to delete your current talk page and then to move this version of your old talk page to your new/current talk page. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Michael.C.Wright thanks Michael. BigKrow (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bddpaux We found BigKrow's old talk page along with history here: [2].

I am unable to move that page to make it the current User_talk:BigKrow because that page already exists. I think it will take an admin to delete the current talk page and rename this version to become the new/current User_talk:BigKrow.

I believe this may be how the talk page became a redirect in the first place. When you try to move a page, it gives this message: "Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless it is a redirect and has no past edit history." So I think someone was trying to fix it by making the talk page a redirect so they could then move it.

Thanks everyone appreciate it. BigKrow (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I struck part of my earlier comment. The redirect was created with the first move/rename of the talk page. But then somehow a template was involved and a rat's nest ensued. If only the vandals would focus that energy into constructive editing. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 17:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I know, right, sigh.... BigKrow (talk) 17:25, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

IP harassment

I pinged @Bddpaux this needs to stop @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. I think we should implement a long-term block on the entire IP range, as recommended here: [3] and less clearly here: [4]. Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

This does not get blocked or harassed, but IP:199.212.250.163 is stopping the block or harassment in this Asia article. 199.212.250.163 (talk) 14:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

It's likely our friend from Canada. An admin needs to block a couple of IP ranges to help combat the disruption. We had a temporary block of the IPv6 range but it expired. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 14:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
