You had time to type out "IP vandal" in your unfair attack on me where you showed you misunderstood what I said. That's a bummer because those two words in an edit summary would have been enough to keep me from bothering you in the first place. Revert me with another snotty edit summary this instant.

On 16 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emos vs. Punks, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that emos and anti-emos confronted each other, but Hare Krishna members de-escalated the situation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emos vs. Punks. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Emos vs. Punks), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
While patrolling recent changes, I noticed your addition on the Peso Pluma article [1] of {{For|the weight class|Featherweight}}. My instinct was to revert it, as when I checked the Featherweight article, there was no mention of peso or pluma. When I checked your contribs and talk page, I saw a seasoned and respected member of the community, who knows what they're doing. So I left it be, but I'm still curious.

I don't speak Spanish, but I got to thinking "pluma is probably feather", and peso is money, right? Also weight as the translation software told me. Never mind. signed, Willondon (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, you will probably want to update your signature. The correct format is CC BY-SA, not CC-BY-SA. Right now it uses the wrong hyperlink. Regards, RodRabelo7 (talk) 00:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unless an editor has been blatantly and egregiously disruptive with clear "malice aforethought", you should always escalate through the structured warning template. See Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings.
This level 4 warning was unreasonably excessive and even a level 1 warning would have been questionable. The IP editor is making a serious and creditable point and should not be threatened with being blocked just because they have not gone the right way about making that point.
@JMF:Ironic, since the only person that "threatened with [a block]" here was you, a threat to an IP that wasn't even within a limit of the 3RR. You might be unaware of this, but Twinkle provides the levels by default. Giving a 3RR gives a Level-3 warn. (CC)Tbhotch™20:07, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. Since {{uw-editwar}} says that an explicit 3RR/24hr vio is not required for a caution to be issued, I hadn't realised that it pressed the alarm button too. I tried first to issue a {{uw-editwar1}} to de-escalate matters, but it doesn't exist. Now I know why.
But I still assert that the IP editor was not being disruptive, just not playing by the rules that they are not aware of. The points they are making are certainly arguable and defensible, just not presented properly. I see you reverted my reversion and I accept your rationale in doing so, but I suggest you consider self-reverting now that you are aware of the broader context. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
{{ewsoft}} was what you probably intended. Not knowing the rules is not a justification even for newbies; when editing the webiste, you receive the disclaimer: "By publishing changes, you agree to the WP:Terms of Use". The level of warns were added for the patrolling bots and tools. file:Huggle3 kde ubuntu.png gives you an idea how Huggle perceives this (left column); silver is clean user, dark gray means something else (I haven't used Huggle in a while, possibly it means previously reverted, not warned), and the numbered squares the level of the warn. Whitelisted people won't appear in the tool. Twinkle doesn't use this system, but when warning it defaults to the next warn level. (CC)Tbhotch™20:30, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And I see now that you have been an editor for a very long time, so I struggle to understand what motivated your action in this case? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:05, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be silly. I'm glad you reported them; I didn't see that. But my point stands: there's no point in reverting them. No, it's not your fault, but the more you revert the more we have to clean up. Drmies (talk) 23:33, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And don't call me "honey" please. Just report or find an active admin. This is MidAtlanticBaby, who craves attention. Drmies (talk) 23:34, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, and they're still at it of course, but there is something you can do cause you been watching a while: it may be that some are targeted more than others--you could report those for protection. I'll do a few but I gotta run. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:38, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my expereince dealing with LLM is that it falls into two categories -- blatant and suspected. I think we all know how to handle blatant, but in your most recent ANI case, I believe this is a case of suspected. I absolutely see some concerning things that sound a whole lot like a DUCK but I believe in those situations, the most meaningful way forward is twofold:
A bunt, direct (yes/no) question of they are using LLM broadly defined, with nothing else for them to respond to (read: a way to dodge the question innocently). This is different from expecting them to answer an accusation with a straight answer.
Regardless of the answer, focus on the behavioral issues (aside from LLM) as they are easy to trip up (at least as of 2025)... Those are far more concrete things that can be actioned upon instead of getting hyper-focused on the accusation of LLM usage.
Do I think that the editor in question might have been using an LLM on the article talk page -- in some ways, yes -- to at least some degree. If I was to speculate (always dangerous and inaccurate), but they probably did honestly write their own argument for what they wanted the page to end up like, and then used some form of an LLM to help "wikipedia-fy and policy'ize" it with correct laungage. However, I think if that "was" true, I believe they have got the point, and will avoid it moving forward.
Instead, I suggest focusing on the behavior (ignoring LLM suspicions). Right now, your obession on the LLM issue has greatly weakend your ANI position (IMHO)... The reality is I don't care much what tools are used to generate the argument, because bahviors like WP:NOTHERE and WP:CIR bevaior trascends the technology being used to write the words. And is, honestly, where I see LLM lead the editor astray, and can more easily be demonstrated objectively.
Hello! you may remove the extra citations that are just passing mentions about the subject and can be removed to emphasize the ones with more SIGCOV about the subject,Cheers!
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Lorraine Crane}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
An anonymous Wikipedia account with ID 186.65.39.105 has twice disruptively edited or reverted changes to List of accolades received by Wicked (2024 film) twice. I warned him to stop his editing especially since this year's edition of the Hugo Awards have already occurred with the film losing both nominations. As for Australian Effects & Animation Festival, there has been no consensus to include those awards per MOS:FILMACCOLADES. I was planning on submitting this list for featured list promotion on September 14. Could you warn him about his or her editing since I don't want this to become a full blown edit war.
I've noted your unprotection requests at WP:RFPU. I just wanted to say thank you! WP:PROTECT notes, "Wikipedia strives to be as open as possible". In no sense do I mean to question the motives behind the indefinite semi-protections that were applied in the three cases you reported and I unprotected. They were done a long time ago, and there may have been more afoot than a cursory review would uncover. I do think important to unlock as much of the project as we can and still maintain stability. If we can't remain open to good faith contributors, we wouldn't have existed in the first place. So thank you for finding those and requesting unprotection of them! I've added Tallaght Stadium, Template:Asia's Next Top Model, and Immortal Technique to my watchlist for three months, though I doubt anything will happen. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:28, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BusterD: Thank you. I have a list but I didn't add it completely to RFPP to avoid spamming it. The full list is the following. If you'd like to unprotect them all, let me know, or I can continue adding them slowly to RFUP.
The "reason" parameter for {{GAR request}} was just added, and it was made mandatory to align with the speedy closure policy on Wikipedia:Good article reassessment. If you remember why you added this template to Talk:Pies Descalzos, could you add your rationale in that parameter when you have a chance? The error message shown when the parameter is missing says the template could be removed without comment. I just wanted to avoid the review being dropped for silly bureaucratic reasons. Thanks for your vigilance on article quality! -- Beland (talk) 17:57, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you recently reverted my edit that added the city logos to the page Morelos, with the comment "Please seek consensus before making such changes". Can you clarify what exactly you mean by this? City logos are used in articles fairly regularly; are you asking me to post an RfC, or is there something specific to ones on Mexican cities? ⇒ Aerrapcthey/them, 19:24, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Tbhotch. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:New's Divine nightclub tragedy, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Hi Tbhotch. For some reason, Discussion Tools is unable to recognize that your (CC) link is part of your signature and frequently puts it before the signature marker in the page HTML. You might want to put the whole signature inside of a span or maybe put the link after your user page link (although those are just guesses about what might be sufficient to get Discussion Tools handling your unique signature correctly). Of course, the CC link is probably not needed these days. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:10, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Tbhotch. Per your request, your account has been grantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! asilvering (talk) 03:32, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Voting in the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 1 December 2025. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
I have little knowledge about the subject, but I was just wondering, as you referred to BLP does that imply that the sources in here don't address the claims, or such? ~Loftyabyss18:25, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lofty abyss: In this specific case, the user is attempting to WP:COATRACK alleged BLP information from the brother of the subject, as well as his friends, into the subject of the article. Since these people are involved with the party in power in Mexico, it is highly unlikely this information will ever be confirmed. This user has been attempting to add it to Morena-related articles since July, [3] but the user refuses to discuss it because "the truth" is and shouldn't be discussed despite multiple warns, blocks and protections. In the link I provide, most of the information is not mentioned or comes from opinion pieces. Tbhotch™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 18:35, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
