Your response on Wikipedia:Simple talk change

Seriously, this is the best response you can come up? --Lauren600 (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I was trying to get some constructive edits from you before I had to block you. On another note, I honestly know nothing about the Super Bowl other than it happens and has something to do with American Football, so I wouldn't feel comfortable editing it myself.

Page move request change

Can any administrator please move Palestine to Palestine (region) and Palestine (disambiguation) to Palestine to avoid confusion. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 17:16, 6 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

ColorfulSmoke, it seems like it coulc potentially be a controversial move. Please create a discussion at WP:ST to discuss it with the community. Vermont (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Global Association of Economics Education change

Hi. This article is at 5 wikis, predominantly all by the same author, and seems to be 1) a conflict of interest article, and 2) puffery with weak or faked references. I have started the deletion discussion at English Wikipedia, though thought that I should flag the article to a simple Wikipedia admin. Thanks. Billinghurst (talk) 11:05, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Billinghurst: I QD A4 (enwp A7) and G11. It's sheer spam (UPE/ puffery etc). Hope an admin agrees. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:16, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Autokwix spammers change

I just CU-blocked Special:CentralAuth/Nikolay.kozhukharenko and Special:CentralAuth/LiamBrooksElder on English Wikipedia for spamming and sock puppetry. You might want to keep on eye on Special:LinkSearch/https://autokwix.com here. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:18, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

NinjaRobotPirate, thanks! I'll keep watch on it, here and globally. Vermont (talk) 14:04, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

My eMail problem change

@Vermont: Is there a way to disable eMail from me WITHOUT blocking me? So I am not tempted? Gale5050 (talk) 02:01, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

No. Just don't press the email button, not that hard. Vermont (talk) 02:34, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I will avoid eMailing users and take advantage of user talk pages! Gale5050 (talk) 12:40, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Being blocked change

@Vermont:, do I have a higher chance of being blocked because of what happened on Meta and the English Wikipedia? Gale5050 (talk) 12:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes. See WP:ONESTRIKE. Vermont (talk) 15:16, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Advice change

The "articles is need of copyedit" category is winding down to just articles that would need heavy re-sourcing to fix.

If I wanted to do something really cool here on Simple, really impress people for my unblock request at English, what would you think that should be? What does the site need? I don't have much in the way of techie skills. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:04, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Black garden ant change

Hi Vermont, I was working on this page before dinner, came back and it was gone...deleted as long term abuse - I hope that is not me :( . I assume whoever started the page may have a problem, but should not have been deleted. Peterdownunder (talk) 12:11, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Peterdownunder. Extremely sorry about that. I've been using a new script lately, called "all-in-one", and thought it useful to test out on the Pakistan IP vandal's latest iteration. In short, it blocked the IP, reverted all edits, and deleted all created pages. I did not check every one of the 13 pages that was deleted, unfortunately, and that's negligence on my part. I'm going to talk to the person who created the script to see if we could input a feature that does not delete pages other users have since edited. If not, I'll check each page individually prior to deletion. Thank you, Vermont (talk) 13:57, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Peterdownunder, and Vermont, sorry for re-tagging the page --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 15:15, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
What page? It doesn't appear that you've edited Black garden ant. Vermont (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
The redirect for it, since you deleted it, I retagged it, the link is in my qd log --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 15:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

thanks vermont! --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thegooduser, of course! I'll note that, for the future, it's usually best to report them on VIP or IRC and not edit war with them. Because, well, Zzuuzz probably has about 20 or so pings, and also en:WP:DENY. Regards, Vermont (talk) 23:47, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ah got it! I intentionally waited 1 minute or two in between to revert them so that they will bored waiting and leave, will not continue this discussion per wp:deny. I didn't know to not edit war with them. --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:50, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Denying recognition by leaving a vandalized version up 🤔 Naleksuh (talk) 23:52, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
In some cases, yes. Edit warring is giving recognition. However, if it's on a high-visibility page in mainspace, revert revert revert. When it's just simple vandalism in userspace, there's no real point in continually edit warring. Vermont (talk) 23:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

question change

I added a wiki link to Wikipedia:Very good articles/Geisha I added a wiki link to maiko. TDKR Chicago 101 said that It's probably fine to do so. Just wanting to confirm with you that it was okay? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

RFC change

Hi Vermont, I have nominated you for a position as Checkuser on the Simple English Wikipedia. You will need to accept the nomination, and two, you will need to fix up the info box as I couldn't get it to work! I hope the outcome will be successful, as I believe you have the energy and the skills necessary to do the job.Peterdownunder (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Vermont, I have moved it to Wikipedia:Requests for checkusership/Vermont. Good luck!-BRP ever 13:43, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for fixing it! I've just accepted it, and transcluded it on the relevant page. Vermont (talk) 17:28, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Peter! I'm honored to accept the nomination from you, and look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on it. Vermont (talk) 17:28, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
