Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:
- An English Wikipedian's guide
- Writing in Simple English
- Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
- How to copy from English Wikipedia
There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. --Ferien (talk) 12:29, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Ferien: Hi Ferien, no I'm not from the English Wikipedia. I mainly edit the English Wikivoyage, and am an admin on the Nauruan wikipedia. I only revert vandalism on enwiki. While I don't read this wiki much, I see a lot of potential to write about the things I know. Thanks for the welcome though. Cheers, SHB2000 (talk) 12:33, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I have seen you a little on the English Wikipedia which is why I used the English Wikipedia welcome. I have seen you around on Wikivoyage too (although I don't really edit there). There isn't a welcome for Wikivoyage or other Wikimedia projects yet. Happy editing :) --Ferien (talk) 12:35, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have started to do some work there on enwiki too, so it may explain it but I still mainly revert vandalism there. SHB2000 (talk) 12:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Your edit looks problematic
Why did you revert this [1] version of Child theft. Did you read the article, or are you only following what a bot is saying? Recommended reading: Superior orders. 89.8.101.207 (talk) 14:17, 1 July 2021 (UTC) Never mind - someone has now made reasonable edits to the article. 89.8.101.207 (talk) 14:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- I changed it on what the bot and the other user did. SHB2000 (talk) 01:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
en.wikivoyage (admin)
Has simple.wikivoyage and redirects me to the incubator with a 404. Darubrub (Let me know) 00:12, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- i get that too SHB2000 (talk) 00:22, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) If you try [[:en:voy:]] instead of [[:voy:en]], the link should work. --Ferien (talk) 08:37, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Darubrub and Ferien: Also, off topic, but would it be time for you to get an unblock request on the English Wikipedia? It's also almost 6 months now, and if you need any help with your unblock request, I'll gladly do it. (tbh I was surprised that you're blocked on enwiki.) SHB2000 (talk) 09:53, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- I can’t appeal until August (UTRS) or September (Arbcom) unless arbcom or the utrs ban team change their mind. Darubrub (Let me know) 13:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hope the enwiki admins don't get fooled by the Android LTA SHB2000 (talk) 09:21, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Twinkie
Flavour Is British Spelling. I live in America. Flavour is Spelled Flavor in America AKK-700 (talk) 05:53, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I thought that Twinkie was British food so I thought that you were changing it from en-GB/en-AU/en-CA to en-US. But yes, feel free to revert me here. SHB2000 (talk) 05:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- I'm replying here because I'm lazy, and, this is the relevant topic. Why can't I use flavor? And why can't I inform that editor? (Sorry if I'm being rude) Elytrian - Talk 04:43, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- Because replying him means he will harass you for months or years to come. Antandrus is probably a better person to ask SHB2000 (talk) 04:44, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Help
What are we supposed to do? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:41, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Hockeycatcat:, sorry for a late response. Was interrupted by Ljupco with this. For some advice with this guy (he seems more active here than where I'm usually at: Wikivoyage). I'll share you a bit of advice (on another wiki, otherwise Ljupco will target this once protection ends and I'll not openly disclose as you'll get a message anyway), and also, I would recommend applying for rollback at WP:RFP/R, which is better than Twinkle. SHB2000 (talk) 11:42, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
@SHB2000: I tried to reply on the Wiki that you posted your comment on, but it says I triggered Abuse Filter 23 (whatever that may be). Here is my message: Thank you, I have requested rollback rights and mentioned you. I am quite new here, so I'm not quite sure who Ljupco is. Do you think that those IP's that were vandalising Thegameshowlad's user talk page and mine was Ljupco? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:13, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- He is the vandal behind all this. He has mental health issues, and has been to Cook County Jail in Illinois for electrical harassment. In his world, he is basically innocent, and we who are all apparently socks of Antandrus, are the vandals. p.s. this "apparantly" also includes Stewards like Bsadowaski1 as well. SHB2000 (talk) 11:25, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Also, I'll check into the Abuse Filter thing. SHB2000 (talk) 13:04, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
How sad, thank you for the explanation. What a shame it would be to have such a life. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:29, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- I know. I wish his family had the resources to help him SHB2000 (talk) 01:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- (quiet aside) if he seems unusually angry tonight, it's because he and his sockpuppets just now got banned on his favorite hate site ("encyclopedia dramatica") Antandrus (talk) 02:33, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Antandrus: Yeah I was wondering when that would happen. It's been too long. Sidenot, how exactly did I "lose internet access" and "have to answer a bunch of questions"? Naleksuh (talk) 02:34, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure tbh. SHB2000 (talk) 02:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Ha! I've been also following him on wikipediasucks dot co as well, and it seems they're moving his threads to garbage :) I saw him make a page for bsadowski1 as well, but it seems to still be there SHB2000 (talk) 02:36, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- I know it is unkind to laugh, but, um. Um. (Cough.) Trying hard not to. I really just wish he'd get some help. Antandrus (talk) 02:39, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- This makes Ljupco look quite dumb tbh. SHB2000 (talk) 06:39, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Comment: It makes me disappointed to see that someone has set up an entire forum to ridicule Wikipedia. This project that so many people are helping create, that people spend their time on. I know that Wikipedia isn't perfect, but people really shouldn't be so mean about it. Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:15, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- There's a couple of anti-wikipedia sites, some being wikipediasucks dot co, encyclopediadramatica dot online (which Ljupco is banned), wikipediocracy (with half the comments being about myself, Antandrus, Ikan Kekek, DannyS712 and SCP-2000) SHB2000 (talk) 03:40, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes. It's painful for people who are banned to accept that they are themselves to blame for their own troubles. Unsurprisingly, they gather together in forums to abuse Wikipedia -- and in particular those who do good work on it. Makes them feel better. "We can't possibly be wrong; all of THEM must be." I wrote about this somewhere -- oh yes, here -- w:WP:OWB no 53, 62 for example. Antandrus (talk) 04:14, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- I remember seeing that essay at en:WP:DGAF. SHB2000 (talk) 04:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Quick deletion of Category:User na-1
The page you wrote, Category:User na-1, 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. PDLTalk to me!OMG, What have I done? (Pronouns: He, him, his) 22:21, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
Selective history deletion
I'm going through and getting rid of the histories created by the WMF banned user. Let me know if you'd like your talk page history done as well. Operator873 connect 05:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes please. Otherwise he tends to paste these links into other projects (which is why I rev del them on Wikivoyage) SHB2000 (talk) 06:01, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- That's also the main reason I revdel them on enwiki. "Erase all trace" is a pretty good principle for dealing with this person. Antandrus (talk) 17:00, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Reverted Unbiunium?
Why did you revert my edit. As far as I know the alternative name doesnt exist and there Isnt this many isotopes of it. Blacephalon (talk) 05:50, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- I reverted it as unexplained content removal. Please use an edit summary next time, but you can revert me here since you now told me about it. Cheers, SHB2000 (talk) 05:52, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Removal of warnings
Hi SHB2000, why did you remove the warnings I placed on User talk:Rama Zholud? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Deny recognition. We already know it's impossible to get him to be cooperative, and he's WMF banned. SHB2000 (talk) 11:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Understood. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- no worries :) SHB2000 (talk) 11:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, now that account is locked. But nothing can stop him :( SHB2000 (talk) 11:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Why did you warn them again?
The IP address here: User talk:93.143.108.177 already got a final warning for personal attacks, so they should not get any more warnings. 2607:F140:6000:17:44F3:DAD3:90F7:3882 (talk) 00:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- They had attacked other editors after the warning. Moreover, you'd think that "level 4" means they can continue on with no warning being needed? The answer is no. SHB2000 (talk) 00:36, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- It means that if they do it again, they will get blocked. They did it again, so I reported it at WP:VIP. Now we are just waiting for an administrator to block them. 2607:F140:6000:17:44F3:DAD3:90F7:3882 (talk) 00:39, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- but until an admin comes and blocks them, which would be a while... SHB2000 (talk) 00:40, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think that warning them again is helpful, see WP:DENY. 2607:F140:6000:17:44F3:DAD3:90F7:3882 (talk) 00:40, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- I'm well aware of that, and as I'm saying that as an admin on voy, where this is often practiced all the time (no warnings in the first place). But such may work for vandalism, but not personal attacks. SHB2000 (talk) 00:43, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

RFDs for non-notable people
Could you consider using the quick deletion process for non-notable people, instead of using RFD? For example, I think Maxina Paonam would have qualified for quick deletion. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sure there. I'll do that. SHB2000 (talk) 08:51, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Accident
Sorry for rolling your edit back on that IP's talk page. I meant to click thanks but I clicked rollback instead! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 13:54, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- install a script that prompting you to confirm before rolling back will solve that issue. and will not cause this if you don´t click "yes" on a confirmation dialog --90.224.199.50 (talk) 13:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Don't worry about that. Fingerslip rollbacks happen all the time (I do about 2 every week), although I wouldn't recommend the script though, as it just makes reverting vandalism a lot slower and harder SHB2000 (talk) 14:01, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- here I have found some example scripts that shows a confirm dialog before rolling back (if you do want to use them): [2], [3], [4]. did you use mobile or computer? many rollback accidents happen om mobile.
--90.224.199.50 (talk) 14:03, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's much worse on mobile, although still not common SHB2000 (talk) 14:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
@90.224.199.50: Thanks for the script suggestion, but as SHB said it would make reverting a lot slower, especially in heated vandal wars! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 15:56, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) You don't need a script for that. There's an option under preferences. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:50, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
User warnings
Hi SHB2000, just letting you know that you should not place an "only warning" when a level 4 warning has already been given. After a level 4 warning, we should just revert and ignore. I got told off for this on enwiki myself! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:51, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I'll take that into note. Although, I do wonder, what's the purpose of 4-im warnings then? SHB2000 (talk) 10:54, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
4-im warnings are mostly for extreme things like blatant racism and things like that. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:55, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- I see. makes sense SHB2000 (talk) 10:55, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
QD requests with option G7 (author requests deletion or blanked the page)
About your edit on the Corinthian War page: you do not have to be the page creator to request QD/G7. The admins don't necessarily see every time an editor blanks a page they created, so having another editor place a QD template can be helpful. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:42, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- oh okay. Makes sense. I'll take that into note next time. SHB2000 (talk) 07:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Archiving
Saw on Simple Talk that you had trouble with getting your archiving box to work and needed to use redirects. I fixed it to how I think you wanted it without the need for redirects. If I am wrong about that I can easily revert. I also adjusted your archiving settings so you won't have to change the year manually every year. -Djsasso (talk) 15:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing that :). I've always had trouble with it so this really works for me :) SHB2000 (talk) 23:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Ping
Hi SHB2000, I saw that you pinged me, but I can't see where. Do you need something? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:42, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- You keep pinging me, I think there are technical problems with your talk page. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:48, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- I think I was probably reverting the LTA SHB2000 (talk) 10:50, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure. Might have been that it was reverting the image nudity LTA SHB2000 (talk) 10:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
Warnings
Please remember: when there's a final warning (4) there's no need to give an only warning (4im). You either give lvl 1-4 warnings, or one lvl 4im warning. After either of them you can report to VIP. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 14:20, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oh. yes, why did I do that. Was aware of that. Was probably tired when I did that. SHB2000 (talk) 22:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
A question
Hello SHB2000! When does a person gets global lock? Can you explain me, if you know? Haoreima (talk) 12:59, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Haoreima, see m:Global locks for information. --Hulged (talk) 13:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! Regards! Haoreima (talk) 13:04, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- A user gets a global lock usually for the following four reasons:
- Cross wiki abuse
- Very abusive usernames (often they are insulting, and/or they leak personal info, but could also mean some really harsh names)
- Long-term abuse
- Spambots (these are often accounts that can self create and so when they're identified, they should be immediately blocked locally and then globally locked)
- There is a fifth one, which is very rare, but that is an office or a community global ban, which are unappealable most of the time. Although there is no set criteria for a global lock though, but these are just the common reasons used. And to global blocks for IPs, it's usually just x-wiki abuse or LTAs. SHB2000 (talk) 13:05, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. And do you think I am likely for that? If so, how and why? Haoreima (talk) 14:46, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. I get too many cross wiki notifications. No, not at all. Given you haven't been involved in any of these, nor do these descriptions ever match you, no. SHB2000 (talk) 04:40, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- I also don't know why, but it seems vandalism only accounts like ms:Khas:Sumbangan/Datdude1 get locked too. SHB2000 (talk) 04:57, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- I hope the Malaysian (ms) administrators might have known about that user very soon. Haoreima (talk) 05:01, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- From what I know, he's been abusing that wiki for a long time, and for some random reason, I happen to be familiar with this LTA despite knowing only a couple of words here and there in Bahasa Melayu. SHB2000 (talk) 05:05, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

On turning 2000+
I heartily congratulate you on turning out 2000+ edits on this wikipedia. I thought of doing this when you turned 1000+ but I was too late. So, coming at this time. Hope you will be more adaptive with this surrounding even more than you were. Regards! Haoreima (talk) 04:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Haoreima: thanks for the 2000th :-). I recently past my 35000th edit globally in an edit war but having the 2000th here is much nicer. Hope you hit your 10000th edit soon.
203.194.35.174 (talk)SHB2000 (talk) 04:35, 28 September 2021 (UTC)- If you wish, you can still remove the IP address exposed from this page, and request an oversight to suppress the edits which mention this number. Thanks! Haoreima (talk) 04:57, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Unblock requests
Hello, SHB2000. You don't have to remove unblock requests. Leave it to admins for review. Thanks 13switch (talk) 10:28, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- That was a fingerslip rollback. I was going to self revert it but it seemed the IP reverted it before me. SHB2000 (talk) 10:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging @JavaHurricane:. 13switch (talk) 10:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Obvious LTA abuse is obvious, and trolling should be removed regardless of whether it is an unblock request or not. JavaHurricane (talk) 10:35, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- I usually do the same on other wikis, however simplewiki for some weird overkill, doesn't allow that. SHB2000 (talk) 10:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging @BRPever:. 13switch (talk) 12:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- If the unblock request isn't vandalism or attack then just letting it be is better imo. If it's trolling, admin will block TPA. Just reverting it sometimes causes revert war, and is in a few ways counterproductive.-BRP ever 12:25, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @JavaHurricane: I think it's reasonable that only admins look at unblock requests and choose what to do with them. When someone makes an unblock request – regardless of whether it is appropriate or not – they are always asking for an admin to look at unblock them, because they've put the {{unblock}} template. Commenting or reverting their request or marking the talk page for deletion will just confuse them as they wanted an admin's attention, not anyone else's. Ferien (talk) 16:25, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- I would however say, removing an unblock request with sexually explicit images should be allowed by any non-admin though. SHB2000 (talk) 21:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- As far as I'm aware there's no rule against it, it's just not recommended to go near an unblock request as a non-admin as it can cause confusion and, as BRPever mentioned, revert wars. --Ferien (talk) 20:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Quick deletion requests
Hi, SHB2000. When you make a QD request, for example the one you did here, you must use one of the defined quick deletion reasons. Those are the only reasons that can be accepted for QD requests. Deletions for any other reasons can go to RFD. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:46, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Including spam and redirects to spam pages? SHB2000 (talk) 11:42, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Option G11 can be used for spam pages, but not for redirects to spam pages. After a spam page is deleted, option R1 can be used. While we're on the subject, it's helpful if you use the QD codes instead of text reasons, because 1) it makes it obvious that a valid option is being used and 2) it automatically fills in the reason for the deleting admin. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:51, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- I see. Thanks for the clarification SHB2000 (talk) 11:56, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Wikivoyage
Hello SHB2000! As you are senior to me in case of Wikivoyage, I want suggestions from you! I want to create Manipur related pages in English Wikivoyage as well as creating a Meitei version of Wikivoyage! Could you tell me the instructions what to do and what not to do, before I proceed to anything? Haoreima (talk) 14:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Haoreima: Thanks for volunteering to come over to us. It would be really nice for us to have more pages about Manipur as looking at en:voy:Category:Manipur, there is only three pages underneath it, which is very low in my opinion, and it would be really great to have more articles. (however, this does not just seem to be Manipur, but also any other state in NE India that's not Arunachal Pradesh or Assam)
- In simple, what Wikivoyage is mostly about is pages for cities, parks (usually national parks), huge airports, but we also have travel topics, and phrasebooks, and the English Wikivoyage does not have a Meitei phrasebook yet. Travel topics range from all sorts of things which you can see here. There's a good full explanation here.
- To starting a mni version of voy, it'd need to be done in the incubator. I don't exactly know how that works though. If you need any help with anything, I'll be sure to help out :) SHB2000 (talk) 20:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Also, we also put less emphasis on the history and understand section, and put more emphasis on the Get in, get around, see, do, eat, drink, sleep and buy sections. If there's any articles off inspiration, en:voy:Star articles has some fine articles that I've used for inspiration before. SHB2000 (talk) 20:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for all the information you provided me. And, I have read all of them. I saw there are rules about what should be redirected and merged and what should not be! A little bit confusing for newcomers like me. Well, I saw there's a great shortage of Manipur related articles, as you had said. So, my first approach is towards all the Districts of Manipur. First, I want to create articles on them, especially about the "plain districts/valley districts", because I know more about them, compared to the "hill districts". Shall I start with sandbox? Like Wikipedia, is sandbox facility available there? Or, shall I start directly to article creation? Haoreima (talk) 04:47, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Most people just directly start article creation, although I do both. However, generally, we like to create the city articles first, and once it gets to a certain level (usually around 18 ish), we start to create districts. SHB2000 (talk) 05:25, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sure, I am coming. Let's meet there! :) Haoreima (talk) 08:20, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sure will :) SHB2000 (talk) 08:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

- Meitei wikivoyage under incubator's Incubation: I started creating articles on Wikimedia incubator for a future Meitei wikivoyage. My first article is this. Well, regarding the rules of incubator, to get approved as a complete independent project, that particular project needs: (1) at least 3 active users, to be active for 3 consecutive months, (2) at least 10 edits from those 3 users every month, (3) at least 1000 articles! If you do visit at Wy/mni incubator at your free time, it will be really helpful for us (even for minor edits, even though you don't know Meitei language), because there's less Meitei Wikimedians, in the WMF.

- Nice start :) You might also want to import en:voy:Template:Pagebanner as well since that will be there on the top of every single page. I don't have the import tools, but you can ask an incubator admin to do it. SHB2000 (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Can I add Christian Churches and Jewish Synagogues as places to see in wikivoyage articles? I think people of other faiths are allowed to go inside there, right! Regarding Mosques, I don't know if I should add them or not! What do you think? For temples of Sanamahism and Hinduism, I added the significant ones. Haoreima (talk) 14:12, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Usually under a #Cope section, but it can go under see if it has great architectural significance or it's main the highlight of an area. (applies for all places of worship) SHB2000 (talk) 20:52, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
