White to move, so it's deadbeef's turn – check back later!

Hello, I'm 0xDeadbeef!

Feel free to ping me in reply to any comment made by me.

Administrators: if you disagree with any of my actions, feel free to revert it and leave a talk message so we can discuss it.

Hey! I'm

Looking at your contributions, I think you should get more experience in recent changes patrol and participate more. Currently, you have less than 50 edits that are tagged as Undo, and I don't think I would able to evaluate the request without a consistent track record. Thanks for taking your time to help the project. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 03:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, understood. Though how can you see how many "undo" edits you have done?

@

Mseingth2133444, you can use xtools automated edit counter. You can find it here [1] Nagol0929 (talk) 14:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

I see, how many would I need in order to be granted rollback? 100? 200?

I used this link so I can click on the diffs. I must have miscounted because you didn't have less than 50. In general I am not looking for a number that you hit, but rather enough track record to evaluate how you identify different types of edits. So far you've only patrolled recent changes for a single week. Per Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback you usually need experience for a month. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 15:07, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for disturbing you, but how do you know I've only been doing RC patrol for a month? Just guessing?

Hi, oxDeadbeef. I made an addition to List of scholarly publishing stings that was reverted, and I'm trying to understand why. You noted "self published, not referenced by third parties," but at least one of the citations (a reported story by a BBC journalist) is not self-published in any sense that I'm familiar with. There is also an editorial published by a mainstream media outlet (Undark Magazine); perhaps that is also considered self-published but it seems rather different than a tweet or blog etc. Thanks for any help you can provide, I'm still new to Wikipedia editing. Whatsabar (talk) 17:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry about that confusing edit summary. I meant that they are all primary sources. The BBC radio directly interviews the person who made the publication, the editorial is also written by the person who did it. They are not self-published, but rather primary sources. And if this only has primary sources then it is hard for us to consider including them within the articles. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 04:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, ok. I guess I was conceptualizing the BBC Radio story more as a secondary source; it's an editor doing a story on predatory publishing who uses the author as a source. That kind of reference seems in line with the other cited references in this list, but maybe I'm missing something? There are a number of other sources I found that seem straightforwardly secondary as well though, if I'm still not understanding this. (e.g. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-find-the-right-journal-for-your-research-avoid-predators/, https://medwinpublishers.com/PhIJ/why-i-publish-in-predatory-journals-and-why-you-should-too.pdf). thanks for your help. Whatsabar (talk) 05:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You see, the first is a guest blog, while the second is an article published to a predatory journal. They shouldn't really be used within articles. Let me ask you this. Do you have a COI with Bradley Allif, or are you Bradley Allf? 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 11:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you revdel this revision as it is a clear blp violation. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bradley_Philpot&oldid=1214988792 Nagol0929 (talk) 13:16, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's run of the mill vandalism, nothing grossly inappropriate or insulting. Not going to revdel. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 13:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you have the time, could you take a look at Talk:SpaceX Starship? As with last time, a new test flight occurred and a new dispute has emerged.

I don't see any disruption and I would rather not weigh in this time because I am unfamiliar with the subject. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I just wanted to ask for a bit of advice about edit filter manager. I'm currently an EFH since about 4 months ago, but I'm not entirely sure if I've got anywhere near enough under my belt to make an EFM request. My main motivation for this would be being able to implement changes to filters on my own, such as this, or perhaps things like this, as well as this. (All links are to the mailing list), as well as things like this. Mostly though, I'd like a bit of advice on what I should have if I was to request (the policy page is just a bit vague on any actual requirements other than consensus) EFM, and/or whether I'd be anywhere near ready. Of course, thank you in advance, I'd appreciate it. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 22:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think these link showcase good technical understanding to be considered as EFM. Given your experience helping out with edit filters, I would probably lean towards support. On the other hand, people consider EFM to be a high-trust position, and sometimes are harsher when they evaluate EFM candidates compared to RfA candidates. It all comes down to trust, and that can be hard to gauge. I would probably just encourage you to be

BOLD and see it it turns out fine. (And there were indeed times where people felt I was being too fast with requesting certain permissions back then, it didn't really hurt my wikicareer as I took their advice and found out how to contribute in a way that works for me) 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 11:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Hey there, a SPI is open on Srabanta Deb and a user pointed me as a potential sockpuppet and I know I am all clear. But I would like to get this out my head so would you like to review the request and then a checkuser could be performed. This request has been open for many days. Thanks in advance Harvici (talk) 07:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had wanted to close it without further action before because I don't believe you are a sockpuppet, but looks like Spicy beat me to it. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 16:16, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your effort. I have a question about why an editor's IP address will not be checked upon their request to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation, as some other WikiMedia projects do not have such policies. Harvici (talk) 05:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@

WP:CHECKME. The reason is that even if a CheckUser went a take a look, it is not 100% proof that someone is truly innocent. And there are privacy reasons for why we'd want to avoid unnecessary checks. So we only check people that we believe there is reasonable suspicion about two accounts being the same user. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 13:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

I really think Ewan McGregor should have his page protected because he is way too famous, so people could make false edits or vandalize the page! Jaxbarina (talk) 04:26, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:EnterpriseyBot is supposed to update the User:EnterpriseyBot/defcon template but hasn't made an edit for quite some time now. I see you along with @Legoktm are listed as maintainers for this tool, could one of you investigate since Enterprisey seems to have taken a leave of absence? Thanks! Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be the relevant tool account but there is also a rust version that may be the relevant tool. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the job and created the job again. It should be running now. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 04:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
