Vandalism in progress

Seems like no one is noticing that there is a small vandal attack right now (WP:VIP). Sk4mp (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Sk4mp: I'm sorry for the late reply, I was away from the keyboard. Generally speaking, a report to WP:VIP is sufficient. An alternate route would be to join #wikipedia-simple ^connect and request !admin@simplewiki for a quick response from the sysops that monitor the channel. Operator873^talkconnect 21:33, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

I joined the channel, thanks . I just saw that no one was reacting to the request on VIP, so I decided to message an active admin. Sk4mp (talk) 21:37, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

How do you become an WikiGryphon? lol. I tried too add that icon, but I failed. Best regards. ✍️A.WagnerC (talk) 14:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Inindo: Way of the Ninja

I created the article Inindo: Way of the Ninja. Can you see if the article is in simple english mode? I thank you. Best regards. 23:27, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

@A.WagnerC: It's very close, but still needs some work. Simple English means articles should only have words that are easy for everyone, including people learning how to read and/or speak English, to understand. We try to keep only the words in this list in articles. However, if there is a word that isn't on that list that you need to use, you can after link to an article about that word. If there's no article, check Simple Wiktionary for a definition that you can use to link to. Again, read Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages and you'll be good.

Stale

Can I remove stale reports from VIP? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:22, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Page created was deleted

Hi! Thank you for reminding me of being vigilant on creating new pages. I understand the reason why my newly created pages were deleted. However, I just want to ask if articles that I personally created in the Wikipedia, cannot be copied here as is, some of it are already simple enough, and I personally created them. Thanks!

Regards, Brazal.dang (talk) 13:55, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

@Brazal.dang: You'll need to become familiar with how to write simple English articles since we use a very limited word list. To answer your question directly, no. No article or portion of an article should be copied from the English Wikipedia, regardless of who wrote it. Operator873^talkconnect 13:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Brazal.dang (talk) 14:01, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Brazal.dang and Operator873: I have to disagree with the statement that "No article or portion of an article should be copied from the English Wikipedia, regardless of who wrote it." Copying from English Wikipedia ("enwiki") is one of the main ways we get new articles. They do have to be attributed. They also have to be in simple language, which can be from simplifying the language used on enwiki or by the language being simple enough on enwiki in the first place. In fact, Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia is our guideline on how to do such copying. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:16, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Auntof6 for clarifying that. My meaning was that leads shouldn't be copy/pasted into a simple article, published and moved on from with no simplification. I wholly agree with your statement and appreciate your stepping in here. Operator873^talkconnect 23:19, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Unblock Request

Queens

In my edit you said it was incorrect info. But in 2008 they renamed it. Except on the southbound Exit 29W from the Cross Island Parkway, it says the RFK Bridge. Also it does not go directly to the Bronx, as Wards Island is part of Manhattan, hence the TRIborough. And Exit 46 off Interstate 278 is in Manhattan. Just saying. 2600:387:5:807:0:0:0:AE (talk) 00:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@2600:387:5:807:0:0:0:AE: Cool. What is your source? Information, especially disputed information, shouldn't be added without supporting information. Operator873^talkconnect 01:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Operator873: have you ever been to NYC? If you go to English Wikipedia and the Interstate 278 article, where the RFK is, and scroll left, it says “Manhattan”. Queens does not connect to the Bronx. The other sign that says Triboro Bridge is the Exit 12 sign off Interstate 295 directly on I-278. It is confusing. 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:50 (talk) 20:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:50: How unusual. I suppose that's why we should build the encyclopedia based on independent, verifiable sources instead of what people believe and/or say based on their own original research or experiences. Also, English Wikipedia is not a source. I suggest you request the community's input on the talk page of the article. Operator873^talkconnect 21:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Operator873: According to https://www.quora.com/How-many-bridges-connect-the-5-boroughs-in-NYC (which btw I don’t know how to make it a clickable link, it says the 3 bridges connecting Queens and the Bronx are the Throgs Neck Bridge, Whitestone Bridge and RIKERS ISLAND Bridge. The RFK connects Manhattan, Queens AND The Bronx. So this means that I am right, if you don’t believe me, look at the website and scroll down. It’s that simple. 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:50 (talk) 23:00, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/triborough-bridge-is-renamed-for-rfk/ says it is the RFK now. 2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:50 (talk) 23:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Need help with IP I reported to VIP with no response

This is what I copy-pasted from what I wrote on VIP: “*192.41.71.199 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On User_talk:CaillouFan (diff): vandalism after final warning.

Did you notice by reverting my change at Internet Explorer you added a ton of text back to the article. I spent a lot of time editing there. It may not be done, but was an improvement I think.

@Rockpeterson: It appears like the article was written to praise Guin Records instead of report what the record label is in a unbiased manner. Additionally, many of your recent edits appear to be you copying/pasting content from another Wikipedia without simplifying the language. Please do not do this.

Forgot to attribute

When I created Ogawamachi Station (Tokyo) I forgot to attribute in the edit summary that the article was copied from en-wiki, but then later remembered that I forgot and then added the translated template in the talk page of the article, and then added that I copied the article from en-wikipedia in the edit summary of the article as a dummy edit.

@Thegooduser: This article should be ok as it doesn't really have any complex language. But it is a word for word copy of the English Wikipedia article. It would be best if you changed it to make it not an exact copy by adding some of your own work to the article. Operator873^talkconnect 20:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Glitch

Hi. Since you are a person in IT, I thought I would ask you. So I never clicked the "keep me logged" in button, I logged in to Wikipedia 48 hours ago, and left for 12 hours, it then made me relogin, then when I clicked log in, it logged me back in without me having to put in the password... Will clearing my cookies fix this? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 15:10, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Resolved.

Protect my userpage and my user talk page

Hello, Operator873, I would like you to semi-protect my userpage and my user talk page please? I would like it to expire in 2 months because most of the edits were made by anonymous users who vandalized my talk page and accusing me of sockpuppetry. It is also taking up my notifications. Thanks. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 15:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Arthurfan828: Both protected for 3 months since 2 months isn't a pre-configured option and I'm lazy today. Operator873^talkconnect 15:31, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Arthurfan828 - CHAT 15:36, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

hidden cats

how can I view all hidden categories in a page? I forgot how to do it --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) An easy way of checking this is opening the source editor of the page and uncollapsing the "This page is a member of x hidden categories:" dropdown list. Hiàn (talk) 05:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Thegooduser: If you always want to see them all the time, there's an option in your settings. It's called "Show hidden categories", and it's on the Appearance tab under Advanced options. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

thanks Hiàn and Auntof6! --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:03, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Doubt

Hi greetings, I'd like to ask you a doubt about AWB access in simple wiki. It is only on a curiosity. Users added to the AWB checkpage are removed a few days later. Is this a policy in wiki or users' request for removal or users' inactivity. I'm asking this only on a curiosity. Hope you'll help. Thank you.--Path slopu ^(Talk) 04:44, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) They are removed after the project they needed access for is done. -DJSasso (talk) 14:22, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

neutral

I am having a really hard time on choosing which side to vote on the request for checkusership, is there a neutral section, or is it best for me not to vote? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:21, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

It's purely up to you. If you want to participate as with {{Neutralvote}} vote or even {{Abstain}}, then you're welcome to. However, not voting is also just as valid. There is no compulsory action here. It's your choice. Operator873^talkconnect 21:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

thanks. I put the neutral vote in which section? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

It should most likely go in the Comments section since that is the best fit. Operator873^talkconnect 21:28, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

wikiproject

when will they become official? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 20:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@Thegooduser: Wikiprojects are handled in user space on this WP. They're just as official there as in Project: space. Operator873^talkconnect 20:51, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok. Have a nice day :) --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 20:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
