The Metamorphosis

Hi. I noticed you reverted my edits to The Metamorphosis which you thought were vandalism. In my edit summary I noted that the content I was removing was a copyright violation (the details of which you can find in that summary). I won't revert any further but would advise you avoid reinstating the copyrighted content. 5.151.215.19 (talk) 22:55, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. We should probably replace it with a different summary, though. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 23:02, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
I agree - thanks for adding something. I've slightly altered what you put to keep avoid repeating the copyrighted text. 5.151.215.19 (talk) 23:10, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

NPP

Hi. I'm just letting you know I have reverted the CSD-A7 you placed on Jean Vanderdockt because the article makes clear claims to notability. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but please note that maintenance tasks are not for beginners. Please refrain from patrolling pages until you have significantly more experience. Thanks.

The black and tans

Hi there, I was just wondering as to why you removed a change on the wikipedia page for the black and tans. 69boiledcabbages (talk) 00:57, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

I reverted it for being biased, as it called their actions "appalling", which is obviously subjective. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 00:59, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough, but I would say appaling is a fair word to describe the actions of "men" who killed women and children. 69boiledcabbages (talk) 01:00, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

I agree that their actions are appalling, but that word is inherently opinionated, so I would suggest replacing it with a quotation from somebody else who called their actions appalling. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 01:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Catholic University of Madagascar

Hi, I nominated the Catholic University of Madagascar for DYK. However, regarding your comments I have a couple questions. First, what is QPQ? Also, is a self-published source necessarily a bad thing? Thanks
Jgefd (talk) 18:53, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

The self-published source isn't inherently a bad thing, but I'd suggest finding at least one other source for the hook, since self-published sources can be biased. QPQ means that, for every DYK nomination you make, you need to review someone else's nomination and link to it. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 21:57, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
I didn't see your response until today, but i just did QPQ. Is it too late to get the article featured on DYK? Jgefd (talk) 15:20, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
I think there's still time, it hasn't been 7 days yet. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 19:35, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Niagara Falls Reporter

Thank you for your analysis. Would you provide specific examples of where I insert personal opinion? Slander is measurably bad and references can point that out.

Fake news is not an opinion. Fake news are claims that cannot be substantiated, but insinuate truth through suggestion.

"Wild accusation" is not an opinion. It is the act of stating claims so improbable they would ordinarily require a heavy burden of proof in regular journalism, but no such proof is even attempted.

Ohcaptaindj (talk) 02:10, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Your language makes it plainly clear that the only reason you've created a Wikipedia account and edited Niagara Falls Reporter is to express your personal concerns about the paper. Although there may be measurable proof that information published by the paper is false, that doesn't give you grounds to insert language that implies personal distaste like "wild accusations", "fake news", and "mudslinging" into an encyclopedia article. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 02:16, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi XenonNSMB. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 02:44, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

REQUEST FOR COMMENT: Why should we accept ridiculous redundancies just because some lay/industrial people do?

Hi, Xenon. Someone at Marvel One-Shots thought we shouldn't eliminate a ridiculous logical redundancy there, so I started a discussion on the talk page to dispute this ridiculous idea. Will you please come and support the correction of this error? Thanks, if you do. Be Your Own Hero (talk) 10:51, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Walt Disney and Buena Vista video releases, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coco (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Alexa

(via the TFD nomination) If you're interested, RexxS made Module:Alexa, which also generates the arrows and fetches more than one data point. I would have finished it, but (a) the ongoing Wikidata RfC might obsolete it for about a decade; (b) most items have incomplete Alexa data and Alexabot's operator vanished, so I or someone else will have to add the data manually to individual items using data archived in the Wayback Machine (and archive.is, webcitation.org).

I've been reported for vandalism on my edits on Concorde by Moriori.

Hi XenonNSMB, Moriori falsely marked me for vandalism for my recent edits on Concorde. Here is the talk page summary: "Wikicop33 (talk) 21:46, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Concorde. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please do not state in an edit summary that you "corrected two grammatical errors" when you in fact had not. Also, you need to go to the talk page to suggest your formatting which had already been reverted. Moriori (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Are you serious? Did you even take a look at my edits? Please check the grammar for the current reverted edit: 1st grammatical error: "18 remain good physical condition" -> the word "in" is missing before good... 2nd grammatical error: "at museum" -> it is "the museum" not museum Wikicop33 (talk) 21:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)"

Looking forward to hearing from you. Wikicop33 (talk) 21:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

@Wikicop33: your "remain in good physical condition" change was fine, but your edit had some other issues that lead to him reverting it:
  • Your list had already been removed the last time you added it, by a different user, so you should've gone to the talk page to discuss it.
  • "aircraft" is already a plural, so "aircrafts" is unnecessary.
I do agree that your edit wasn't vandalism. But you should start a talk page discussion on Concorde about the list you were trying to add. --XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 22:01, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism Fighter Request for (early) Comment

Dear XenonNSMB,

I built a online tool prototype for (crowdsource) vandalism patrolling. I noticed that you revert vandalism very fast. What tool do you use? Can I ask you a few questions:

  1. What tool do you use, so that you are able to fight the vandalism that fast？
  2. What criteria do you use choose the anti-vandal tool?
  3. Here is my early prototype, what are a few most important missing features would you suggest(or anything in your long term wishlist)?

I look forward to input from Wikipedians like you who have the most experience in fighting vandalism.

Xinbenlv (talk) 22:33, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

  1. I use Huggle, a desktop diff browser that shows a feed of new edits in real time.
  2. I chose Huggle because it's fast, has a variety of options (custom revert reasons, reporting people to WP:AIV, putting deletion tags on pages) and gives edits scores to show you only the ones that are most likely vandalism.
  3. Here are my impressions of your tool:
  • I like the interface, it's clean and to-the-point. The ORES integration is good.
  • The buttons below the diffs don't work, I'm not sure if that's because they're not implemented yet or if it's a glitch.
  • It looks like there's a limit to how many diffs can appear before the ones at the bottom start disappearing. You should make it autopause when this limit is reached to give you time to clear the queue.
  • Perhaps a warning should appear next to the diff if someone else reverts the edit before you do.
  • Maybe add a button to put a welcome template on the editor's page if the edit is legit and they're a new user?
--XenonNSMB (talk, contribs) 22:46, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your advice.
Here is my major summary of your advice:
  1. auto pause
  2. buttons below not working (yeah, it was not implemented yet, but will be working in next iteration)
  3. warning for already reverted
  4. add a button to put a welcome template on the editor's page.
I will try Huggle as well, and I will keep improving the tool with your input, and will let you know when there is a major update.
