I mean, looking at the timestamps again, and with this rather clear clarification that this was prohibited good-faith behavior that additionally fed a troll, it's so unlikely that you'd continue or would repeat it on other pages that I can unblock right away. I also see that the first edits to their talk page were vandalism, butWP:UP#CMT exists and throwing an edit warring warning, of all possible messages, an edit warring warning! on their page in this fashion is absurdly beyond the options.~ ToBeFree (talk)06:43, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
throwing an edit warring warning, of all possible messages, an edit warring warning!: I didn't even know that happened. When I enabled the script, the user was modifying warnings from other users (example), so I reverted their edits there. I don't care if people remove warnings from their userpage, and I don't recall ever edit warring those back in.ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)07:11, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that one. It'sa script I created to revert vandals as soon as they edit a certain page; it's meant for abusers likeSalebot1 and others who rapidly vandalize articles or game permissions. I ran it on their talk page and went on to do other things, and it seems they just kept reverting over and over again. I realized this was happening for too long and shut it down. I also never realized this can be construed as edit warring (perWP:3RRNO), but I know better now and would not do that again, and remove that feature from my script just in case(and perhaps get rollback removed since it has clearly got me in trouble, justnot the way I think it would.)ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)06:45, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did think for a moment about revoking rollback but I don't think doing so would benefit either you or the encyclopedia. You would, however, have torequest approval for such automation outside of your own userspace and without manual supervision.~ ToBeFree (talk)06:49, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You may like to use rollback as a server-sided, fast alternative to Twinkle's red VANDAL rollback link or similar things provided by other tools. For Twinkle, CSS for removing the red link is atUser:ToBeFree/common.css. Revoking the permission, uh ... from my side, not directly after the block and unblock today. It would feel too much like a forced revocation / delayed penalty. If you have thought about this for a few days and noone did it yet, feel free to ping/notify me about it again.~ ToBeFree (talk)07:33, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Ah, one thing regarding 3RRNO, this is a rare case where not even reverting a banned user would be justification enough, as even banned users are allowed to edit their own talk page, not just for filing an appeal but at least also for removing read messages. It may be arguable whether someone whose account is blocked is allowed to edit their IP's talk page and whether that depends on still having access to the account. But that's a rather academic discussion as what happened there was simply pointlessly disruptive independently of the edit warring policy.)~ ToBeFree (talk)06:54, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I should've carefully inspected that IP user's edit inIterator. I wasn't aware that "Iterator" was correlated to computer programming, I just thought it was gonna be some random article about plants (judging by the name of the article) since I was quickly moving through edits in the Recent Changes, so I wasn't expecting to run into some edits which look arcane to me like "import std;". I thought the IP was implying "sexually transmitted disease" (you see what I mean, right?). That's why I reverted, although I was wrong. So yeah, I thought you deserved an explanation to my strange revert there.Hacked (Talk|Contribs)03:53, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the IP took exception tothis comment I made. I wasn't online yesterday and it was certainly something to log in today and see a whole ANI thread. Gotta update the counter on my userpage too. I'm happy to go in depth about the connections between Dinoboyaz and the IPs, but honestly I just suggest taking a look at Dinoboyaz's contribs and pattern of behavior and I think you'll see the resemblance too.

Hello, would you be able to clarify the reason for the AI-generated tag onEarth-bathing? I have confirmed that the information is consistent with the cited sources while being paraphrased so as to not violate copyright, aside from occasional direct quotes when necessary. I put care into consolidating the sourced information, and the references are not fictitious. Was there anything in particular that stood out to you as hallucinated, or would you have any suggestions for improvement? I'm interested in creating more articles, so any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!Alexander Patmos (talk)17:10, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I utilized ChatGPT to find additional sources and it reflected in the URL, and furthermore, I am aware that em dashes are a well-known indication of AI use, so I understand your logic in adding the tag and think your assessment was fair. I believe my sources are reliable and properly deployed. but I'll have to usedashes more sparingly going forward. Thanks for explaining!Alexander Patmos (talk)00:51, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Other than what the non-useful message above just detailed (–),curly quotes (“ and ” or ‘ and ’) usage are also an indicator (as it is not standard per theMOS). The most ostensible part in the article is the non-standard subheadings, just as an instance:A Short Treatise..., therapy and claim rationale, thesubheading in the article is not a standard subheading on Wikipedia and seems fabricated and along with knowledge cut-off dates are usually indicative of AI writing or known on Wikipedia asWP:LLM.182.187.148.47 (talk)15:33, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware that there was a manual of style that addressedcurly quotes. I will ensure they are straight going forward, and try to referenceMOS for formatting.
Additionally, I was not aware that Wikipedia had a standard for subheadings. I have seen some pretty unique subheadings on Wikipedia, but I will have to be mindful to keep them more broad.
I draftified the article for being composed of LLM-generated text. I documented an example of LLM-style language and source-to-text integrity issues at the draft talk page.NicheSports (talk)02:56, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@NicheSports I utilized ChatGPT to locate potential sources. (The only one I actually incorporated was Wikisource, but I now realize Wikisource is an inadequate source.)
I did not use AI to select material to incorporate nor was it used to consolidate my research; but in my final stages of drafting, I did utilize Grammarly's AI functionality to fine-tune the way I worded certain sections and improve the overall language.
I have rewritten the article (here:Draft:Earth-bathing) and refrained from using AI tools this time around. None of the new text is LLM-generated, none of the information is hallucinated, and all of the claims were taken from sources per my own research. --Alexander Patmos (talk)02:41, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for being observative, and for so politely and deservedly delivering a boot to my backside. Well, the articleGrammatical tenses needs a great amount of work (I've hardly started on it); and once it's corrected and sourced and examples are provided, in its entirety it's likely to be simplistic or indigestible or, most likely, a strange mixture of both.

Thanks for identifying and reporting copyright issues, such as onSyed A. B. Mahmud Hossain. One note: don't include your edit removing the text as part of the rev-del request. Once we remove the edit immediately prior to your edit, your edit shows no history, which means we've sufficiently protected the text. It's not a big deal to have one extra edit rev-del'd, but it can be avoided since it doesn't expose anything. — rsjaffe🗣️21:55, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There isno official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
Ask any questions about the process at thetalk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

It appears that a sockpuppet investigation has been opened suggesting that I am the same editor as Molems. I would like to clarify that we are separate individuals. I first encountered him through Wikipedia, noticing his signature, which included a New Zealand flag. Over time, we developed a friendly rapport. He also recommended Timtrent as a helpful editor, and after reviewing some of his contributions, I awarded him a Barnstar.
There is no substantive evidence to support the claim that I am the same person as Molems. I respectfully request that this issue be reviewed and corrected.
I would also like to respectfully clarify that assuming an article is written by an LLM does not constitute sufficient evidence to support such a conclusion. I am fully willing to verify the sources forall of my articles and to replace any citations you believe are unsuitable.
@RFKTNG:Over time, we developed a friendly rapport.: Definitely not onwiki, since the only interaction you've had with them was[2]. Theyhave email disableddon't have an email set, so you couldn't have contacted them through that either.

This is neither here nor there for the Arbitration request, but I would just like to note until the community amends the Arbitration Policy, it is plainly appropriate that ArbCom isTo handle requests (other than self-requests) for removal of administrative tools in parallel to recall. And it is able to handle other sanctions which might help address the actual content issues in a way that recalling him alone would not do, making it (for me) a superior venue in this particular case (though I am not as convinced it needed to go from AN at this point in the process).

Don't want to use up my remaining words on a tangent, but if they receive enoughDMCA requests from copyright holders, they will have no choice, admin or no. Also, if you'll pardon me - I'm going to rant about the DMCA for a moment. It's a well documented practice that movie studios and game studios and what have you actively abuse this system to get negative commentary about their products removed from SNS posts. It's why I'm such a stickler for removing non-free plot summaries - I want regular people to be able to use screengrabs from our article while critiquing a show's writing without a mouse-shaped lawyer getting their video pulled from Youtube and their account blocked.
The WMF does not say the reason for bans, making it hard to say for certainwhy somebody got removed.User:Flooded with them hundreds for example - was their ban for repeatedly infringing copyright, or a different TOU abuse? WasUser:Messina? Goodness knows, and goodness knows we're not getting an answer out of a bunch of lawyers. (Not that I can blame them for that, actually - lawyers saying "we have copyright issues on our site!" is the legal equivalent of supergluing a giant "kick me" sign on your chest.)GreenLipstickLesbian💌🧸20:41, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
but if they receive enough DMCA requests from copyright holders, they will have no choice, admin or no.: The WMFOffice account does occasionally remove Commons files on DMCA requests, but I have never seen them block anyone for that.
I've gone through the ban list when I was bored, and it seems a lot of the pre-2019 bans were generally made for political/personal reasons (WP:FRAMBAN of course being the eventual culmination of such behavior.) Other reasons (which are more common now) include posting or supporting the presence of CSAM, off-wiki harassment, compromising accounts, undisclosed paid editing, etc. The two accounts you mention are probably banned for some kind of harassment, especially considering that Flooded with them hundreds was ArbComBlocked right before that. As for copyright violations, I'm not aware of any, but I would definitely like to know if you happen to stumble across one.
I'm sure the WMF T&S receives thousands of global ban requests every month, usually from disgruntled users or LTAs. One even tries to "trick"certain users into acting like they'reviolating policy to try to get them global banned. They must be aware by now when to leave things to local administration (i.e. ArbCom) and when to take action, but I definitely echo your sentiment regarding the opacity of office actions, and I don't think they're extremely trustworthy either.ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)21:28, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think part of the reason we don't see blocks that often is because the community is more vigilant than the copyright holders - the WMF doesn't need to ban somebody if Commons already has, and I've never had an issue with Commons admins blocking editors who repeatedly upload non-free files or deleting said non-free files. And they, for legal liability reasons, I believe, don't go fishing the way they might (or might not) for other TOU issues. If they get a DMCA request for one file, they'll look at that one file and take whatever action their lawyers tell them. They won't click the upload tag and see if the editor's uploaded 50 other screenshots as "own work" are genuinely own work or not. They'll wait for another DMCA request - and the chances of another actionable request being sent, for the same editor, are pretty low. I, as an editor not affiliated with the WMF, can look. And I can, following the local processes, nominate it for deletion and ask a commons admins for a block.
Again, without the repetitive complaints from people who have standing to complain (there's a very good reason that many organizations only hear certain types of complaints from people who have standing - it probably helps guard against the people you listed in your last example!) the chance of an action is very low. But part of that balance comes from not forcing their hands. I'm not a risk taker, so I know that if I make them answer the question "is thing than a user has repeatedly done a TOU violation?", then I should only do that if I'm very certain of the answer. And okay with them nuking said article. And editor. Because if they say "yes", even privately (I respect SFR immensely - but why should they think WMF-Arbcom communications are guaranteed to be private now?), does that jeopardize their status as a publisher? Does that give the copyright holder actual grounds to sue the WMF? Their conversations aren't going to be, I believe, protected by privilege, so would that "yes, this is a copyright issue, and no, we're not removing it" going to be discoverable should said lawsuit happen? Is it worth the risk?Haveyouever met a lawyer who's happy?GreenLipstickLesbian💌🧸00:09, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ChildrenWillListen. Per your request, your account has beengrantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals usingtemporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that isonly to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
Accessmust 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 moreIP addresses (using theCIDR 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 visitingSpecial:Preferences. Happy editing!* Pppery *it has begun...05:27, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue-Sonnet@ChildrenWillListen I believe there may be a misunderstanding regarding the objectives of themeta:African Legislators in Red 2025. It is not a paid editing initiative; rather, for the past two years, the campaign has focused on improving the visibility of African politicians while strictly adhering to theWP:NPOL notability criteria without any COI. The expenses outlined in the budget are limited to essential items such as data reimbursement, communication, and refreshments for participants during training sessions. These provisions are purely supportive and do not, either directly or indirectly, lead to UPE.
As one of the facilitators of the campaign, I have personally reviewed numerous drafts and ensured compliance withWP:NPOL, rejecting those that did not meet notability requirements. The relatively low number of rejections is largely due to the guidance provided to participants, including the use of carefully curated query lists that already meet theWP:NPOL criteria.Ibjaja055 (talk)12:15, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ChildrenWillListen There is a difference between being paid to create articlesWP:PAID and participating in contests or edit-a-thons where top contributors may receive prizes or vouchers. A lot of Wikimedians operate within this latter framework. It would therefore be inaccurate to characterize participants as paid editors, and doing so may lead tocasting aspersions.Ibjaja055 (talk)15:29, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
PerWP:PAID, anyone who obtains or stands to obtain money for their edits is considered a paid editor, regardless of whether they're paid by some corporation or a WMF sponsored edit-a-thon. This isn't an aspersion when the fact they're getting paid (or well, some of them) is public. Of course, being a paid editor doesn't always mean it's a bad thing, though it means that their ulterior motives may not necessarily align with building an encyclopedia. Also, I don't think many Wikimedians actually get compensated for their activites (Wikipedia:GLAM/Wikipedian in Residence is a notable exception).ChildrenWillListen (🐄 talk,🫘 contribs)05:03, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
