@Bruxton:, thanks so much for the review. I really liked the template you used and might use it for my next review! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure. I have enjoyed learning about Boone, and I am not well versed in Hockey. I spent much time in DYK promoting articles to preps. I learned so much in that project and now I use much of that knowledge with GANs. They have a template in DYK and eventually I stopped using it. I find it useful to go through the GANs methodically and then check my suggestions against the criteria. I have found that I enjoy working with an editor one on one, making suggestions. I hope to review another of your articles! Bruxton (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Consider revisiting the article to see if "despite" is ok as it is used in the article. I just had occasion to see WP:WTW and despite is called out there. Since I called for the use, I felt I should let you know that I may have been mistaken. Bruxton (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two small updates to Dana Pe'er Biography[edit]

Hi @HickoryOughtShirt?4,

I noticed a few updates we could add to Dana Pe'er biography. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Memberships: Fellow of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Academy[1]

Awards: 2023 ISCB Innovator Award[2]

Also, noticed we could update the ISCB Innovator Award article list.

  • 2024 Su-in Lee
  • 2023 Dana Pe'er
  • 2022 Núria López-Bigas

Sock puppets of SNIyer12[edit]

I found the following ducks of repeated sock puppet master SNIyer12 that was blocked in 2012 and continues evade their block by using multiple IP addresses all based in Youngstown, Ohio. The current IP addresses they have been using recently are 173.91.195.44, 24.101.112.71 and 24.101.176.50. They always make a series of edits in older team season articles without any comment, they usually make one or two useful edits try to hide from scrutiny and then start being disruptive. A range block is not needed. Deadman137 (talk) 21:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deadman137:  Checking.... HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know if it occurs again. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will do, sadly they cannot let go even 12 years later. I'll have to monitor more articles to catch their next attempt. I've been dealing with them off and on for a decade so I know their pattern. Deadman137 (talk) 02:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The 24.101.112.71 is right back at it. Deadman137 (talk) 02:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadman137: I made it a week this time. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It will temporarily slow them down. I've been digging into this editors past and I noted that there are times where they will travel an hour away from where they live to Butler, Pennsylvania and continue on with their 12 year edit war as the editing pattern is consistent. Some people can never put down the stick. Deadman137 (talk) 03:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of NHL franchise post-season droughts[edit]

This article could use temporary semi-protection for a month or two for the same reason that you protected it last year. Deadman137 (talk) 03:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deadman137: Protected for a week. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:38, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough compromise that gets things to the end of the regular season. Thanks again. Deadman137 (talk) 03:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadman137: Ya, that was my thinking. It'll end on April 19, which is one day before the playoffs. We will have to see if this continues when the Leafs are swept in the first round HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 13:55, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It will continue, it always does. Though around here there are three fan bases more annoying than some of the most "boisterous" Leafs fans. Lucky for me all three of them made the playoffs this year... Deadman137 (talk) 23:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 April newsletter[edit]

Our current top scorers are as follows:

Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May.

If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please read Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Possible Mastergerwe97 sock[edit]

I found an IP editor 172.9.239.10 that has similar interests and editing tendencies that match Mastergerwe97. The locations are not a match but they did admit to using a VPN after getting blocked last year to evade their block and the editing pattern is suspicious.

2024 Stanley Cup playoffs[edit]

Just look through the last 100-150 edits to this article when you have a minute and you'll see my argument to semi-protect this article for a while. Deadman137 (talk) 23:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deadman137, Done. Very excited to see who gets the second Eastern Conference wildcard spot tonight. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a scenario where it could go to tomorrow night, but then I have to be on top of all the possibilities. Either way sit back and enjoy the games tonight. Deadman137 (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The removal of the Mailloux/Newhook milestones as well as the Wideman retirement entries within their respective tables is disruptive to this page and should likewise be subject to the same sort of repercussion. This was done strictly out of spite in highlighting that 3-way trade formatting was/is prelevant across other NHL team pages. 2605:B100:B24:F40C:8C4F:588C:F15B:C723 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On an unrelated but hockey related note we have ban evading edit warrior using multiple IP addresses at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season, the article needs semi-protection. Deadman137 (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP that was causing the problems at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season has created an account User:HabsFan2293. They also edited while on their block. The block started with this edit [1] and as you can see they started back up later that same day. [2]

It is a clear duck and the article will likely need further protection. Deadman137 (talk) 04:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deadman137, Seems I have free time since I am certainly not celebrating a win tonight. EC protected. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. That was not an entertaining game, anytime I start working on the game summary that early and it's not an elimination game then I know it's bad. I've covered so many playoff games that I'm neutral in most games now, even with teams that I don't like. Plus I cannot really show any favouritism in the role that I work in.

Utah NHL team[edit]

Can we get this semi-protected for a few days? Deadman137 (talk) 01:33, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this still necessary? I see an few edits by an IP but it doesn’t look excessive. I think the experienced editors working on the article have it under control. Please let me know if this changes. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:41, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soft block on User:Natasia_demetriou[edit]

Wondering about the source of the lead photo of Natasia Demetriou with a cat, I looked at the user's contributions to find that you had blocked them for using the name of a famous person. But looking at the user's other contributions, I see no reason to think that the account does not actually belong to the real Demetriou. Might the account blocking be erroneous? Matt Gies (talk) 22:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Gies I do not view it as a mistake at all. It is entirely possible it was a member of her PR/management team as well. Per the blocking instructions: If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-en@wikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. All she/whoever runs the account has to do is prove it’s her and she would’ve been fine. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter[edit]

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
