IRC down - assistance needed[change source]

Hello Operator873, could you please help me with the vandals who I reported in WP:VIP? All of the IP's are in the same range and are vandalising Headcorn. Assuming they are from a school. Also, IRC is down. Cheers Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 14:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hockeycatcat: I am not near a computer right now but IRC is not down. When you were online this morning, you weren't using my client. I have no control over Kiwi. Operator873 ^connect 16:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Operator873, IRC is letting me log in again now which is great - I know you do not have control over it, I was just letting you know since I would've contacted you through there instead. The vandals who I mentioned earlier have already been blocked by MathXplore (great addition to the admin team). Kind regards, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 16:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback permissions[change source]

Hello, I'm trying to undo some vandalism on the Carlos Mencia page, but am being blocked because my edit is identified as harmful. I plan on doing some more anti-vandalism work here using SWViewer and was wondering if it would be possible to receive rollback permissions. I am already a rollbacker on enwiki (here is a link to my CentralAuth: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Ternera), so I am familiar with how it works and I have been using Huggle for some time now. Thanks! Ternera (talk) 16:46, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ternera: if you're familiar with how it works, then you should also be familiar with the proper way to request it. My talk page isn't the right place. Operator873 ^connect 16:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for picking the incorrect place. You may want to edit the WP:ROLLBACK page, which says: "You may ask for rollback at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback or on an administrator's talk page." Ternera (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ternera: I don't know you. And I said above your ask that I'm not at a computer. I'm not sure what answer you were expecting. Operator873 ^connect 17:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, sorry for bothering you. It sounds like I took that part of the page out of context. Ternera (talk) 17:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, are you OK with Ivan's answer in this section? MathXplore (talk) 01:37, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did see it. Didn't have much to say so left as is. Operator873 ^connect 04:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also @MathXplore: because I forgot Operator873 ^connect 04:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Also, have you checked the latest CU requests? MathXplore (talk) 05:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MathXplore: Not yet. Operator873 ^connect 05:07, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Complaint[change source]

I have made a complaint about something you wrote. See simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard&diff=9590226&oldid=9589925, 2001:2020:351:861F:258C:189D:3E48:871E (talk) 17:33, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ruffling the lede[change source]

You removed link to Andreas Kaplan. Please find a way to link to his name in the Reference, then.--The bigger problem with your edit in the lede, will have to wait for another day (although some of that was okay). And no, the Kaplan thing is not a 'biggish' thing. 2001:2020:351:861F:8933:878E:F5F7:F57F (talk) 18:25, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2001:2020:351:861F:8933:878E:F5F7:F57F: Perhaps you may want to review WP:HOW prior to contributing more to this project. We use a restrictive word list in our articles that you 'ruffle' rather often. Operator873 ^connect 18:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
