I thought they looked suspicious just saying. BigKrow (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. They all look suspicious. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 01:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't like suspicious, revert to remove copyright violations by editing and not copy-pasting the news, but "Amber Alert cancelled after B.C. infant" and "Rare 4.8 earthquake hits New Jersey and New York" does not like the copyright violations on news, such as the websites that copy-pasted edits, is not suspicious but it's normal. Yay. 199.212.250.163 (talk) 15:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael[edit]

How's my article looking so far? Thanks. BigKrow (talk) 20:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael.C.Wright im going offline for now talk soon. BigKrow (talk) 20:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which article? Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 18:23, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without digging too deeply into it, I can see there are two broken (red) links. There are line-breaks or carriage returns in the middle of the first and third sentences. Remember also to attribute all images using {{image}} and to describe the image with a full sentence, and mention it's a file image if it pre-dates the story. Those things should be corrected before a reviewer gets to it (to save their time).
If it were me, I'd also expand it with some background. Also, the article states "At least three people were killed and four other bodies are missing..." That implies we know four people are dead (four bodies), but we don't, as of today.[1] You could improve that sentence by saying: "At least three people were killed and four others are missing..."

Vandalism/Out-of-scope in one page "Flooding in Kitchener, Ontario occurs when Grand River is flooded"[edit]

New article[edit]

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

I responded in the article talk page. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 14:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hey BigKrow[edit]

@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 (Talk/Published) 02:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@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)[reply]

My user talk page[edit]

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)[reply]

The vandalism is a rat's nest for sure. Was there more content that you are missing beyond the comments here: [2]? Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 16:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@Michael.C.Wright thanks Michael. BigKrow (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bddpaux We found BigKrow's old talk page along with history here: [3].
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. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC); edited Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks everyone appreciate it. BigKrow (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
I know, right, sigh.... BigKrow (talk) 17:25, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP harassment[edit]

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

Agreed. I think we should implement a long-term block on the entire IP range, as recommended here: [4] and less clearly here: [5]. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 16:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
