@Elytrian: There! I hope everything is in order now. Thank you! Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:24, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
How do I do that? Derpdart56 (talk) 16:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Derpdart56: You can place {{archive box collapsible|auto=yes}} on your talk page, or you can use other methods as described at Help:Archiving a talk page. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

did that on my talk :) SHB2000 (talk) 02:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Would you like help on en?

You've been blocked a while and your request wasn't reviewed... would you like help getting unblocked on en? 💠Ely - Talk💠 16:26, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, @Elytrian: Yes, please! I didn't want to ping any administrators over there as I didn't want to seem impatient. That's very kind of you! Oh, and PS: I'm going to bed now - (It's 2:28am!) Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:29, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
lol. GN. I'll contact an admin that seems forgiving enough. 💠Ely - Talk💠 16:30, 22 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Elytrian: I saw the unblock request you made for me on enwiki, thank you so much! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 04:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Your welcome! :D 💠Ely - Talk💠 04:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Twinkle

Hey there, I think something is wrong with your twinkle, it left the QD note on the talk page of the wrong person. I am not sure what's wrong myself yet, but just letting you know. Thanks :) -BRP ever 11:21, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@BRPever: Huh, strange. Hopefully it fixes itself! I don't know how it made a connection with that random user. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:24, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
FWIW, it happened because the vandal had redirected their talk page to some other page for the purpose of harassment. Twinkle merely followed the redirect and left the message on the redirect target. JavaHurricane (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Gucci

Hey Hockeycatcat! You tagged Gucci with {{cleanup}} and {{external links}}. There were no external link issues when I reviewed the page so I have removed that tag but were there any other problems that made you place the cleanup tag? Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 17:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Ferien: I haven't been very active for a while and I don't remember doing this. I can see that it was not needed. The cleanup tag is probably needed because the article is written a bit like an advertisement in the 'History of Gucci' section. I checked the edit history and I think I even tried to revert the external link tag but failed. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:04, 7 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ok, hope you are doing well. --Ferien (talk) 13:17, 7 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your comment on the RFA for ImprovingSimpleWiki

That RFA has not been properly set up, so it is not time to comment on it. Besides that, the user has been globally locked so I'm sure a crat will close it when they see it. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

I hadn't even noticed that! I suppose I should check before commenting in the future. Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Regarding article

Hi, Why did you nominate the article P. V. Vanaja Bai for deletion? Here are direct citations: Citation1, Citation2, Citation3, Citation4. I think these are enough to keep the article. Moreover there are already Tamil and Telugu articles about her. - Acharya77 (talk) 10:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Acharya77: It didn't seem covered enough, and normally articles we have on the Simple English Wikipedia are also on the English Wikipedia. Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Hockeycatcat: Is there any rule that articles on Simple Wikipedia should have articles on en-Wikipedia. Moreover, she already has articles in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. - Acharya77 (talk) 06:48, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Acharya77:There isn't a rule or guideline that specifically says that, but it would be more notable if it already had an existing page on enwiki, because enwiki is much larger and is more popular. Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

quick deletion for two discussion

i am a person who made two articles and i requested for quick deletion on two article please help

@Mormonrocks: I’m sorry, I can’t speed up the deletion process. We have to wait for an administrator to make their decision. If you don’t want the article to be quickly deleted, you can remove your vote by deleting the text you typed in the discussion. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 02:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Could you tell administrator about speeding up deletion? Because i got a mental disease i do not like two wrong articles remained on wikipedia

@Mormonrocks: I’m sorry to hear about your condition, but I don’t think it’s my place to ask an administrator on your behalf. You could try asking User talk:Ferien or User talk:Elytrian yourself, or any other administrator of your choosing. Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think @Hockeycatcat has got confused. I'm not an admin. 💠Ely - Talk💠 09:13, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Elytrian: You're right, sorry. I think I meant to put User:Djsasso but I was tired. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

QD declined

Hello, I declined your QD request for Phrabat Somdet Phra Paramendra Ramadhibodi Srisinra Maha Vajiralongkorn Mahisara Bhumibol Rajavarangkura Kitisirisumburna Adulyadej Sayamindradhipeshra Rajavarodom Borommanat Pobitra Phra Vajira Klao Chao Yu Hua. Even though it seems an unlikely redirect, currently R3 only applies to redirects that are of an unlikely typo. As you can see by the R by... template on the redirect, this was not designed to be a typo. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Ferien (talk) 13:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ferien: I understand, I'll try RfD instead. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 23:56, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
There is also a discussion at Simple talk about this right now. --Ferien (talk) 23:59, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

RfD

I moved the RfD template to Surrounding area, since it appears that you filed for that article, not Suburb-- *Fehufangą✉ Talk page 10:04, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Fehufanga: Thank you, I made a mistake. 12:37, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi there!

I see you're interested in video games and stuff related to it. I'm trying to get this wiki's wikiproject video games back up and running so perhaps you'd like to join us? Derpdart56 (talk) 14:03, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Derpdart56:, I'm certainly interested in that! Let me know what you want me to do. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 14:25, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

see User:Derpdart56/WikiProject Video games, a few people have already signed on. Derpdart56 (talk) 14:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Talk pages

Hello, please don't create talk pages just to add the talk page header, as you did here. Thanks. --Ferien (talk) 10:45, 2 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Revert

I suggest your undo your revert as the edit made corrected an error on that page as the person who put it in apparently has no clue what url-status is used for. I would also suggest you learn what it is used for as well as this revert clearly shows you do not know as well. Pure Evil (talk) 07:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

As you decided to ignore my message and left the the error in the article, and it was an error caused by a lack of understanding about how citations work, I undid your change. You should still research how cite templates work with archives before using rollback to revert another user. I would suggest Category:CS1 maint: url-status Pure Evil (talk) 07:16, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Pure Evil: Sorry for not responding to your message, I simply wasn't on Wikipedia to read it in time. Thank you for explaining. I didn't know that url-status=live wasn't necessary. I have learned something new! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:51, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Category: Jewish criminals

I removed Mr. Frank from that category Jewish criminals because there is dispute as to his guilt. Some people believe a different person committed the murder, others believe that the murder was a hoax. En Wikipedia says that the scholarly consensus is that Jim Conley committed the murder. RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 16:26, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Understood. Feel free to use a different category instead. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:28, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Chatting with Hockeycatcat

Hey Hockeycatcat what's up? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

What are you up to today? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Péòhshkligh! Welcome to Simple English Wikipedia! Do you need help with something? Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm just patrolling, fixing mistakes here and there. Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yeah do you edit on English Wikipedia? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

There's a couple of mistakes you can fix on there. Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I used to until I got blocked for abuse of logged-out editing. I thought it would be funny to see Wikipedia from a vandal's point of view. It was a very silly thing for me to do and I deeply regret it. Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I just checked your account on there you're no longer banned you can edit on English Wikipedia whenever you want to. Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

You're not blocked on there anymore. Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

He is blocked still, you are wrong. User contributions for Hockeycatcat - Wikipedia RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 16:50, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

On English Wikipedia someone made a mistake in the 2010s content and the 2020s content on the history section of the article horror film can you restore them? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am still blocked on English Wikipedia, please see [[2]]. You could ask someone else on the English Wikipedia for help. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of assistance. Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:50, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

On English Wikipedia for the next article history of horror films they did the same mistake to the 2010s section and the 2020s section on there can you restore them too? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:50, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Do you know any of your friends that edit on English Wikipedia? Péòhshkligh (talk) 16:51, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Be bold and try to fix it yourself! If you're stuck, you can always ask at the Teahouse for help. Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:53, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hockeycatcat, please ignore this user. They are blocked on the English Wikipedia themselves and are also evading a block here. They are trying to ask lots of people to edit for them in the hope that someone will fall for it and edit the page. --Ferien (talk) 17:20, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

B'Nai Brith

I created a page on B'Nai Brith. I called it a 'quasi-Masonic fraternity for Jews,' it is not part of Freemasonry but it borrows its symbols and rituals from Freemasonry and most of its founders were Freemasons, so I think that 'quasi-Masonic,' is an accurate term. Do you agree or disagree? RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 20:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi RegrettingMistakes777, I don't have much knowledge on this subject, so I don't think that I would be the appropriate person to agree or disagree with you. 'Quasi-Masonic' does not seem like Simple English. Hockeycatcat (talk) 04:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I clarified the definition of 'quasi' in the article. Does that work? RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 05:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

It looks great now! Well done! Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hitler article

The article on Hitler stated that he called for the murder of Jews in Mein Kampf. I've read that book and I don't remember him calling for that. But I don't want to change it myself because I don't want to get involved in debates on the Holocaust. Could you look into it? RegrettingMistakes777 (talk) 21:12, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unless it is sourced, I would remove it. I have just done some research and I couldn't find anything like that regarding Mein Kampf. Hockeycatcat (talk) 04:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Rollbacks

The usage of rollbacks are limited to obvious vandalism. If there is something that you cannot agree with categorization, please use the talk page for discussion. MathXplore (talk) 11:58, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The user is adding non-existent categories to articles that aren't useful, I'm using Twinkle to revert edits that are being tagged as Rollback for some reason. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sorry – RedWarn, not Twinkle! Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
For these you can use hotcat and then just go to the article and click the negative next to them. First though you want to check the cat as it may be red but have the minimum three pages in it so it can be converted to a cat or even better yet with hotcat you can click the plus sign and start typing in something and it will pop up a list of them. If you do want to roll back don’t use twinkle. There should be a little menu above the diff with has rollback and undo. I would recommend using undo on these types if you don’t want to go in and fix it. PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 05:16, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Non-existent categories

Non-existent categories can exist unless they are used in appropriate ways and expected to be created in future. The IP editor has been working on movie categories for months. In addition, Special:WantedCategories shows how many non-existent categories are used. I'm usually making categories from here. MathXplore (talk) 12:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@MathXplore: Oh, that's embarrassing... I'll just step away from this then. Clearly, I shouldn't be worrying about small things like this! *selftrout* Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:08, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Advice

So two things I’d like to provide advice on for you.

  1. When you report someone to VIP or something like that it is best not to let them know because then they will start attacking your pages and other malicious things that will cause a lot more work for us.
  2. As far as your CU block on enWP I would advise you to not allow others to post an unblock your behalf and also I wouldn’t keep bringing it up. Some admins on there will check other work you do on other wikis to see if they should continue your block. The fastest way to continue the block is to keep posting about it and allowing others to post for you. I would wait a while before you put in a request. I put in an unblock request after over a year and it was instantly declined. As I am also CU blocked on there. One of the admins even typed up this long essay which ended up on the following weeks emails and now is being used as a reason to block people which is funny because of it only being an essay. I would focus on this wiki and being the best contributor you can and if you have questions don’t hesitate to ask on simple talk or ping one of us or an admin. Up to you if you want to accept this advice. Its just from my perspective. I want to see contributors succeed on here. PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 05:26, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@PotsdamLamb:, thank you for your suggestions. I'm not allowing other to post unblock requests so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I will no longer tell users that they have been reported to VIP. I hope that you also will be unblocked soon. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
For the enWp I’m referring to User talk:Hockeycatcat#Would you like help on en?. I’m personally not worried about being unblocked on enWP. I much prefer simple. It is much more relaxed and no wars like there are on enWP. PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 06:01, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Userbox for Redwarn

Because of an issue with the way this template was categorizing, and to make the categorization work the same way as with other user templates, I removed the categories from the template and manually added Category:Wikipedians who use RedWarn to your user page. I apologize if that causes you any issues. -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Auntof6: That’s alright! Doesn’t affect me in any way. Thanks for letting me know though! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:45, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Semi Protection

@Hockeycatcat @Operator873 (tagged admin per IRC). If you want your talk page semi protected for about a week just respond and add Operator873 and they will semi to stop the vandalism for a bit. I got mine done and I see in the log they keep trying. PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 07:59, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes please, @PotsdamLamb:, @Operator873:! Doesn't seem like they want to stop anytime soon. Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:06, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry so long on this Hockeycatcat. I'll get your talk page protected now. Operator873 connect 21:12, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Rabindranath Tagore

Hmmm... It's not a direct copy of En, and I can see no reason to use that resemblance as the basis for QD. He was a very significant person, and I don't feel we should delete the page on grounds of similarity to En. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:38, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Macdonald-ross, I should've checked the page history! Retracted the QD. Hockeycatcat (talk) 04:26, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

QD log

Let me know if you want your QD log semi-protected, it seems to have got the attention of a vandal recently. --Ferien (talk) 20:38, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Also, just so you're aware, there is no need to call an LTA an LTA. They are almost always treated the same as regular vandals. --Ferien (talk) 20:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ferien is an LTA :) I always say lta because I also will post it in the stewards channel if needed so it is a copy/paste because I am lazy PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? 21:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Ferien: @PotsdamLamb: If it gets vandalised again, I will ask for it to be semi-protected. Thank you. :) Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
