Fr33kman[change source]

Fr33kman (talk · contribs · count)

End date: 18:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


I am an experienced admin, checkuser, former OSer and steward. I'd like to request oversightership to help out and to be able to act on problems rather than having to ask for help from an OSer or a steward. Candidate's acceptance: I accept this nomination. -- fr33kman 16:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Questions[change source]

  • Hello! Thanks for volunteering. It looks like you've had this permission a few times before, and then went inactive (which is fine). Could you give me a little overview as to when it is suitable (or give some examples) of when an item should be oversighted rather than revdel'ed? Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 11:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To some extent revdel will do a lot of times but there are times where suppression is needed. Revdel is good at hiding crude or offensive edits and suppression if best used in cases where personal information is being posted and needs hiding even from the admins fr33kman 05:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Under what circumstances do you think that an OS block is needed, and what would be required for such a block to be lifted? QuicoleJR (talk) 11:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If a person keeps posting private info then a block should be used. I wouldn't be overly eager to lift an OS block as it would lead to more abuse fr33kman 14:44, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support[change source]

  1. Support Experienced editor and active CU. Our community can rely on them in times of need. DIVINE 17:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. I fully understand and appreciate the concerns of Ferien posted below. However, reading Djsasso's comments at the RFCU I'm not terribly concerned. It doesn't read as blatant. Perhaps he may have some comment that clarifies, however I understand that may be very difficult to provide. Regardless, there are very few people I personally trust more on Wiki than Fr33kman, so based on years of past history, I will support. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 03:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose[change source]

  1. Oppose I'd like to assume as much good faith as possible, but oversighted diffs were posted to RfCU by you back in December 2023. I don't know why they were oversighted and the answers to the concern at the time were that it was basically a bad choice of wording (link). Having admins who post oversightable material then become oversighters isn't the best of looks for our wiki though, regardless of reasoning. Additionally, I don't see much of a need for oversighters at the moment and it was only in November you got CU again. Those three factors combined tip me into the oppose section, I'm afraid. --Ferien (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The Ombuds committee cleared me of that incident. Additionally OS is about suppressing info, nothing to do with CU fr33kman 00:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My vote was indeed nothing to do with CU, it was about you posting oversightable material onwiki, which is definitely relevant here. --Ferien (talk) 06:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't recall that. Can you email details? fr33kman 14:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The link is above, showing the history of RfCU where this occurred. I don't know the exact details because I'm not an oversighter. --Ferien (talk) 16:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps we could get an oversighter to review the post and if they say I did something wrong I'll accept that but the Ombuds commission found no wrongdoing. fr33kman 12:46, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If my assumption that the oversight was due to oversightable material was wrong, I will strike it, but my oppose vote will certainly be remaining. Going from requesting admin to becoming checkuser and oversighter within 8 months is extremely unusual. I can't think of any other user that has gained checkuser and oversighter that quickly. I'm not going to go so far as to call it hat collecting, but you really need to slow down. We do not have any need for oversighters at this moment in time, we voted in a new one just a year ago. I also have major concerns with the way you have been using your admin rights: you accused a user you incorrectly blocked of personally attacking you when they didn't, it was only a month ago I had to ask for you to stop undermining other admin actions without explanation (which you're still doing), a few days ago you gave flood out for a user adding references and you are currently treating RfD as a vote which is behaviour administrators actively try to stamp out, yet here you are doing it anyway, ignoring what is written on the top of the RfD page. To be frank, this is below what I would expect from any administrator, let alone a checkuser wanting to be an oversighter already. I didn't initially want to bring the major concerns with the admin toolset here, especially as someone who nominated you for adminship the second time around, but now I consider it it's probably best addressed than not. --Ferien (talk) 20:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Weak oppose While this user is experienced, don't get me wrong, I feel like the user may not be ready to be given the oversight tools again. Plus as Ferien said, we haven't exactly needed any more oversighters recently.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 10:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[change source]

  • Neutral I could go either way, and will try to remember to come back to this. I think that Fr33kman is a good admin and I respect him. I also don't personally give any weight to comments along the lines of "we don't need more X" at RFPs. However, I do take Ferien's concerns seriously, and it makes me hesitant to support. I will come back and think about this more in a few days. Ping me if anything substantial is found. QuicoleJR (talk) 11:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    With "we don't need more X" comments, it kinda depends which right you are looking at and how you look at it. With something like admin or rollbacker, there are very few downsides to having plenty of people so long as they are trusted/competent enough for it. But with oversight and checkuser, sensitive information is involved (which is why you have to be identified to the WMF and 18+ to do it) that is you could argue is better having in fewer hands than more. Not saying that's the case for this situation as Fr33kman is already a checkuser, just in general. --Ferien (talk) 15:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Without knowing the suppressed content, I can't say how inappropriate it was. I can think of some cases where it could be a normal situation but later privacy concerns were brought in. I suggest Fr33kman to withdraw this for now, and try again a while later if they feel the project would still benefit from them having the tools. Currently, there is no pressing need for a new suppressor, and steward backlog are looking pretty clearly so we can turn to them if help is needed. Thanks,--BRP ever 15:46, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm investigating a bit more, I don't think the "we don't need more" arguments are particularly beneficial. We should give tools out to those who can wield them correctly. However, I'd like to see a real grasp of the perm before I support. The answer to my question wasn't fantastic. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 17:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would like to know what you find. If Fre33kman2 was cleared of wrongdoing, then that should be that. I don't want to support a Wiki culture in which people even asking about someone else's actions insta-kills them from positions of trust. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:05, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (Note) Fr33kman is the username. We have 2 in the page title because this is their 2nd oversight request. MathXplore (talk) 02:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Just to clarify, I wasn't intending to look into any previous issues with the tools, just rather whether or not I would trust the user with this advanced perm. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 06:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted Simple talk[change source]

Please do not remove sections from simple talk unless it is vandalism. It will be archived when it is time to be archived. These are kept for historical purposes in the archives for easier finding, even if it does not make sense. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 23:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"These are kept for historical purposes"- What's worth keeping here as I'm intrigued?, As stated in the editsum if we kept such posts the page would be full of random letters of the alphabet.... –Davey2010Talk 23:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've pasted yours and their comment to the talkpage which I hope resolves this, I just don't see a point or benefit to allowing people to post O, A, M posts to a talkpage but thats my 2p, Have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to tell you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Issue with Davey2010". Thank you. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 23:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being patient on the ^^ above stuff. I saw emails this early morning and went through what happened. I would have been much more annoyed by this, but you just dealt with it like a pro. Haha, just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work here and don't let this bother you. Cheers! BRP ever 01:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BRPever, Thank you so much for your kind words they mean a lot to me, I'll be perfectly honest I'm currently indeffed on Commons for incivility and nearly got indeffed on EN for the same reason - So I'm slowly but gradually trying to change the way I approach and deal with things now, I'm not perfect but I'm trying do a better person than I was,
Meh they don't bother me I've had worse lol,
Anyway thanks so much for your lovely words that really do mean a lot to me, I hope you and yours are well, Take care, Warm Regards, Dave /// –Davey2010Talk 01:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies[change source]

I wanted to apologize for what I said and did today. It was not right of me to do so. After reading your response to BRP you and I are blocked for the same reason on en wiki. I hope this can be put behind us and we can move forward as a team to build this encyclopaedia. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 09:28, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your apology, Without making things worse I feel I should reply to the en block comment - I'm not blocked on en[1], I am blocked on Commons for incivility[2] and unfortunately you're indeffed on en for socking/using an alt[[3] so respectfully not nearly the same reasons,
Anyway I agree we're all here to build an encyclopedia and would much rather we work together than to be at each others throats every time, Have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is actually a block for incivility. Very long and drawn out issue that even our sysops could not figure out what was going on and still do not. Agreed! Thank you for expressing and explaining your block comment. But yes it was the same thing. The socks were just me wanting to be on there. 🙃 Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 14:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Side note: You got a few short term blocks for it on en wiki lol. I lost count of my socks and for this account I sent it to them to advise them I lost my password and had to create a new account so they blocked it within minutes of me notifying them, but it is what it is. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 14:45, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay fair enough, EN's not known for being relaxed with anything to be fair lol,
No worries thank you for not taking the comment the wrong way - I spent a good 45 minutes trying to word it in a way that didn't come across in a dickish way so thank you for not taking it the wrong way,
Anyway thank you for your apology, Take care, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your Signature[change source]

Hey! Just wanted to swing by and let you know that I stumbled upon your signature, and I couldn't resist taking some inspiration from it (basically just copy/pasted it T.T)! Hope you don't mind the imitation. Cheers! – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 14:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cyber.Eyes.2005, I'll be honest I don't mind people taking inspiration from it but I'd much rather they change the colours than just reusing the entire thing, there's no creativity or uniqueness that makes you stand out :), Not only that most people associate those colours with this idiot ... surely you don't want to be associated with this idiot lol,
Your signature atm doesn't really match your username, i guess for some reason i expected more of a horror feel so black and red etc, But of course it's what you're happy with and if you're happy with it then cool :), Obviously I can't make you change the colours but anyway thanks for your message, Have a great day :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it doesn't really match, but the thing is, I didn't really know much about how this formatting works, lol. I've changed it a bit, and yeah, it does really confuse people when two people have the same signature (including myself). Thanks, and have a great day as well. :) – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 15:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyber.Eyes.2005, Ah okay fair enough - to be fair I took my signatures from other people but had changed the colours lol, Haha don't worry it HAD confused me too :) Thanks so much for updating it I greatly appreciate that :), I have to say yours actually looks a lot better than mine haha, Many thanks again, –Davey2010Talk 15:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subpage transcluding[change source]

Hi there. Your subpage User:Davey2010/Dashboard is calling a protection template from somewhere. This is putting it in the category of Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Can you fix it so it does not transclude into there please? There is a bot from Ferien that does this, however, that page does not have the code on it so the bot cannot remove it because it is being called from something else you have pulled. See User:FerienBot2. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 08:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PotsdamLamb, Many thanks for making me aware of this, It doesn't look like there's nothing my end I can do but I'll have a look around and see if I can remove it, The page was supposed to be on my userpage but for some reason it's not and truth be told I've obviously never looked at it since like 2017 so I'll have a look around and if there's nothing I can do then I'll blank it by the end of the day,
Many thanks for making me aware of this, I'll see what I can do. Many thanks, Warm regards. –Davey2010Talk 11:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I am going through them to find my next cat to work on for the project and that happened to pop-out. So you know, I am working on something similar if you would like to view it and maybe help out where I am stuck at. It is at Template:Admin dashboard Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 12:37, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okie dokie I'll take a look at that and see if I can help :), Happy editing, Many thanks, Warm regards, –Davey2010Talk 12:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @PotsdamLamb, I've added "<noinclude></noinclude>" to the protection template at WP:Request for permissions which has removed my page from the category,
Given how easy it was, something tells me you're going to come here later and tell me I've inadvertently introduced a new error somewhere else now :P, Anyway thanks again for making me aware, Many Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 13:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Naw I think it should be ok. I did not see any issues when I tested it out on other pages and a lot of pages of the include/noinclude on them. Thanks for taking care of that. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 13:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay I didn't realise that lol - I searched on EN and didn't get far, tested other things but they didn't remove the cat, Seen someone suggest noinclude, Gave up and decided to assume en:WP:ROLLBACK must be transcluded everywhere and checked out the protection on that page and yeah it was wrapped in that code so thought I'd try it and wish for the best lol.
Anyway no worries, I'm rather amazed it's been there for 7 years and no one's ever mentioned it (I'm guessing you're the only person that's viewed that page in a very long time!), Anyway I'm glad I've fixed it instead of going with my original thought "Well it's on WPs page so it's a WP problem", Thanks again, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 13:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 13:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and again, if you want to help on that board I am creating, you are more than welcome to. I see Peterdownunder is using it, so my goal is for it to be a whole one stop shop. I am working with the CU team about changing the way they do things so it can pop up for them but for now, I am not gaining much ground.

Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Dana Tanamachi[change source]

Hi, Davey. Just a note: when an RFD is closed, the RFD template needs to be removed from the page. Someone else has removed it for you. We don't usually encourage non-admin closures, but I think this one was OK. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Auntof6, Slap on the wrist for me!, My apologies, I was closing 2 AFDs at the same time and completely forgot about the main article page, I'll be honest I've spent 3 weeks on an article and I guess I just wanted a change of scenery for a bit or to do something completely different for a while,
I'm surprised you didn't come here about clogging up recent changes - apologies for that too - I did ask at ANI but understandably everyone was busy so after an hour of waiting I just cracked on with it, Anyway thanks for the heads up about the AFD notice I wont multitask in future :P, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 00:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't usually look at recent changes, so I wouldn't have noticed unless someone brought it up! I figure if your changes aren't bothering anyone, then it's not a big deal. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Golf Article[change source]

Since it’s in your user space are you ok if I try to fix that cite error? If I can’t it’ll be reverted to prior to me touching it. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 00:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PotsdamLamb, Of course you can, I should also add in case you try it - I've tried linking from the page nearest to the page cited (357) as well as used Wayback Machine and Archive.Is and nothing's worked (and using old Google books for linking/wayback/archive.is hasn't worked either) so my plan was to just leave it as it is,
I just felt an old black and white image and some background info on it sort of made it more verifiable than say a 2022 news article on it if that makes sense,
I don't pay for books etc so I don't know why it allows me to view it without issue but doesn't let anyone else view it, Anyway good luck hope you can fix it, Many thanks, –Davey2010Talk 00:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. You can also apply to the Wikipedia library which gives you access to some more resources as well. That’s if you don’t already have it.

@PotsdamLamb, I had no idea that even existed thanks so much!, Could I ask though are you a member of that ?,
One criteria is no active blocks but I'm indeffed on Commons ? I mean Commons is images though .... if I've survived for 10 years on the English Wikipedia without being indeffed then surely that must say something right ?,
Didn't know if it was worth signing up for if I could potentially be declined because of the indef?, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m indeffed on ENWP and I have access. If it doesn’t grant you access automatically I believe it allows you the option to request and you can mention it. I’m not sure what the implications of commons blocked would be. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PotsdamLamb oh okay fantastic, I'll give a go and see then, Brilliant thank you for that I appreciate that a lot, Many thanks, Warm regards, –Davey2010Talk 01:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very welcome! Yeah all you do is log in with your account. If it doesn’t like you it will tell you so. The work would be if you get denied. It is a great resource to find old works and a lot of open source information that may be subscription only otherwise. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:36, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay, I'll check it out properly tomorrow and see how it all goes lol, Yeah they reckon theyve partnered with a good load of paywalled companies etc so I bet there is valuable and useful stuff there, I'll check it out properly tomorrow, Many thanks again for telling me about that, Have a great day, Many Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 01:41, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you have a chance to check this out? Let me know what happens. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't as I completely forgot!, Will try tomorrow if I don't forget again!, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok so I found the issues.
First, I ran the citation bot against it, which removed some unneeded parameters from the citations. There was still one issue which I had to manually fix. That was you had url-access=subscription twice in one citation. When I removed that, all the issues were gone and it reflects that all of your citations are good to go.
Two other minor things I did was changed the circa to about (simpler english, as c. is not really a simple word or meaning in most cases) and I rephrased that same sentence for ease of reading. You are more than welcome to revert those back.
If you need anything else, please let me know. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 02:10, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure how I ended up adding that twice but many thanks for fixing those, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 16:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah something’s are hard to spot but during a preview it told me url= was used twice and only the last parameter would be used. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 19:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot remember the name off the bat, but I am sure someone may realize who it is. I have seen this before. This is in regard to Special:Diff/9478011 on VIP. If I remember correctly, they were doing this to music articles in late February/early March. They were so random so it is hard to pinpoint it. Might have to look through all the check users and changes to VIP.

Side note, I am going to look at your article now too (I have had a busy couple of days). I also hope we can get little DYK out of it :). I will let you know what I find. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:36, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PotsdamLamb, Yeah now I think of it I'm sure this happens or used to happen on EN too and I'm sure it was @Binksternet who I always saw revert them?, I remember the name ZestyLemons or something like that but I dont know if this is them either,
Either way this definitely isn't a new user I know that much! :), Haha I'll be honest I thought you already did check the page or that preview source and gave up lol, I'll be honest I've never done DYK stuff before as my creativity in that department is nil lol, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The vandal case may be seen at Long-term abuse/Date-changing vandal from Poland. They used IPs from Poland such as Special:Contributions/31.0.37.29, Special:Contributions/31.0.41.56 and Special:Contributions/176.221.120.24, then they created the username Agnieszka1235.

It is easy. If you can get the article fully developed to at least (I believe, but may be wrong) a GA status, it can be used for a DYK. (Ok so easy for me to say, maybe not easy to do lol). Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay if that's the case that's us screwed lol, Meh to be honest I'm quite happy with the way it is (as in non-DYK or GA), Thanks, Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 01:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright. It does look a bit like a copy tho. I might try and look at it more at some point. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 20:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferien, It does it looks way too perfect to be a brand new newb article, I've also come across Yksnamu who's uploaded images of subjects that Eceerp has created which seems slightly weird, Unfortunately over at en:Sarah Sugden (2005 character) her name's never been linked as far as I can see so I can't find anything to say this ever existed but for sure this definitely isn't a new article, If the article layout is different from the deleted articles and things like "Ref" (in table) aren't present in the deleted articles then that would confirm it's been copied/pasted from somewhere but without evidence I guess there's not a lot one can do, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:03, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zat Knight[change source]

About this edit: special:diff/9503130, the only visible difference is his height (6 ft 7 vs. 6 ft 6). I'm not sure which is correct but enwiki says 6 ft 6. The removal of spaces probably wasn't the purpose of the edit - it may be done automaticaly by the visual editor. Kk.urban (talk) 17:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kk.urban, Many thanks for making me aware I didn't realise they had changed the height, Indeed EN lists it as 6ft 6in so I've reinstated their edit, Thanks again it's much appreciated, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chichester buses[change source]

I changed busses to buses in the Chichester article because the plural in the article "Bus" is spelled that way. T. Tony Holkham (talk) 21:07, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tony Holkham, Not quite sure how I came to miss that but you did indeed so my apologies for reverting you, I've reverted back to your edits, Many thanks. Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 06:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi [[User:Hcsrctu|Hcsrctu], Many thanks for your message, I've reverted all of their edits as as you say their edits all have been copy/pasted from EN, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 16:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:2400:1A00:BD20:E4A9:F119:B176:7416:B986, Yeah that was rather embarrassing no idea what went wrong there my apologies!. Ive reverted back, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Davey

I just reverted the Joseph Williams article that you marked for quick deletion. I noticed that the article was vandalized and the old article had links to 19 other wikipedia pages. I see this as intentional vandalism, not a new page, so placing a quick deletion form is unnecessary and confusing. I know your actions were an attempt to prevent vandalism, I acknowledge that and thank you very much for this.

Best regards

Rose

Hi @Anabelase2, Thanks so much for not only spotting this but for also reverting me, I obviously had no idea it was vandalised, I did do a search prior to speedying and obviously it came back with the musician (not the 2003 like I first believed),
I've removed the warning on your talkpage please accept my apologies for this, Thanks again for your help in fighting vandalism it's greatly appreciated, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 15:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding CU[change source]

You are a really outstanding editor, and to me, you are an admin without tools. If you want to run for adminship in the future, you might be the one for our community. I am happy to nominate you. You haven’t made any mistakes, I just reverted it because you filed a CU, and I wanted CU to check on it. By the way, CU cannot check IP addresses. DIVINE 13:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DIVINE, Thank you so much for your kind words they really do mean a lot thank you, Unfortunately I'm happy just being a normal editor to be honest and I suspect my indef-block on Commons would sink the RFA anyway,
I would love to be an admin but admins are held to a much higher standard over us normies and to be honest being an admin means more things can wrong, Meh I'm happy being an editor but thank you for your kind words anyway they do mean a lot
Also regarding the CU; I know IPs can't be checked but I was saying the IPs comment was my reason for the withdrawal that was all, Anyway Happy editing, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 19:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
