Rollback

I have granted the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 12:56, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Uhhh, whut?

I've never edited the page "Ripon, Wisconsin" dude, unless someone else is using my I.P. then i don't know who you're talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.56.8.89 (talk) 21:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the talk page of your IP address, you appear to be editing from a shared IP. My messages were not meant for you; they were left as warnings regarding somebody else's recent vandalism from the same IP address you are using. Scenarios like this one are a common inconvenience with shared IPs, though you can edit Wikipedia while avoiding the frustration of irrelevant messages by creating a Wikipedia account for yourself.

Taxonbar and synonyms

Personally, I continue to think that {{Taxonbar}} is just clutter and of no value to the great majority of readers. However, if we are going to add it to articles, let's do it properly. When the Wikidata entry is under an out-of-date synonym, as is the case at Aloiampelos ciliaris, the correct links can only be obtained by adding two taxonbar templates – the first for the correct Wikidata entity, i.e. the one under the name used in the article, and the second for the Wikidata entity at the old name. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:46, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. This mainly seems to be an issue with organisms that were recently reclassified - the taxonbar templates on plants in the Aloiampelos genus (which are examples of this) have now been sorted out this way. Entranced98 (talk) 08:05, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it usually means that the majority of other wikis haven't caught up yet, so that Wikidata is attaching its links to them to an old name. Occasionally it happens because different wikis are using different but acceptable taxonomies. As I've written many times elsewhere, the real problem is at Wikidata, which doesn't connect together the synonyms of a taxon. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kumara, Aloidendron, Aristaloe, Gonialoe, Haworthiopsis and Tulista are other Aloeae genera that I think will need two taxonbar templates. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal mass reverting user's delsort

Do you think there's a vandal mass undoing sorting of deletion pages? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 11:05, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All I am aware of is that an IP hopping vandal (likely a bot) has been reverting many random recent edits today across many namespaces. Many editors have been working to deal with the problem. Entranced98 (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing it is a bot because of how quickly it undoes things. Sockpuppet by a user? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 11:11, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure, to be honest; I've only seen this type of vandalism from IPs today. Entranced98 (talk) 11:12, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry for reverting your edit on Ricky Rubio. It looks like some IP-hopping troll was doing and undoing random edits, but in this case the undo was (maybe inadvertently) actually correct.--Gorpik (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for the issue; it was a rather difficult situation with the vandal making hundreds of rapid-fire edits, 90% of them being very disruptive. Many thanks for sorting it out. Entranced98 (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I thank you for the orthographic correction in the article Districts of Cartagena, Spain.

You are now a pending changes reviewer!

Hi Entranced98! I've been running into you in recent changes patrolling and I happened to notice that you don't have the pending changes reviewer user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling, and you consistently view and undo vandalism and disruption to articles. I believe that this user right would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request the pending changes reviewer right at WP:PERM, I just went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and either accept them to be published and viewable by the general public, or decline and revert them so that the pending changes are not published.

Keep in mind these things regarding the tool or when you're reviewing any pending changes:

The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you additional "status" on Wikipedia nor does it changes how you can edit articles (obviously).
You'll generally want to accept pending changes that appear to be legitimate edits and are not blatant vandalism or disruption, and reject edits that are problematic or that you wouldn't accept yourself - especially those that are vandalism or have neutral point of view or BLP issues.

Useful guidelines and pages for you to read:

Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, the guideline and tutorial on using the rights and reviewing pending changes.
Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

I'm sure you'll do fine with the reviewer rights - it's a pretty straight-forward tool and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into any troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the user rights and accepting or reverting pending changes. If you no longer want the pending changes reviewer rights, contact me and I'll remove it. Thank you for helping to patrol recent changes and keep Wikipedia free of disruption and vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:19, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for granting these rights! :) Entranced98 (talk) 09:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Defunct schools in Luton

A tag has been placed on Category:Defunct schools in Luton requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

My first impression was "Wow!"

Hi, Entranced98

First I read all the little boxes, on your user page, then I read: "a Wikipedia editor of five years" and thought: "Wow, a five year old is writing here and already studying math!" Then I realised, it probably means: 5 years of editing WP. Was I the only one who initially misunderstood this? I'm thinking about how it could be expressed more clear.

P.S.: On your talk page, the topics no. 5 (You beat meh...) to no. 9 ( The International School, Karachi) are in one frame. I'm wondering whether this is intentional and if, what the reason might be.

Ping welcome, Steue (talk) 13:37, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that would have been pretty impressive, but in my case it wasn't meant to be! Kicking myself now for spending my days as a five year old eating crayons and leaving Legos everywhere for my poor mother to step on…🤭

Anyhow, I've clarified what I meant on the user page (was in dire need of a little update) and thanks for pointing out the issue with the talk page. I must have accidentally broken up a template somewhere, making the unrelated messages look like they were part of the same section. Hopefully all fixed now!

Hello Entranced98!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Rollback rights

Uh, I often see whenever I try to undo any unconstructive edit, a conflict error comes due to you guys. First I thought I am slower than you later I check you use some gadget called RollBack. I'm having a doubt about this right. What is the difference between the undo (normal, TW, etc.) and the Rollback (HG, RedWarn)? Those are same functions. Is it applicable for newbies like me? CSMention269 (talk) 12:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The main difference between these functions is that 'undo' only reverts the most recent edit made to a page, whereas 'Rollback' can revert all consecutive edits published to a page by one account or IP. This makes 'Rollback' especially handy for dealing with strings of bad edits (for example, when an IP has vandalized one article three times in a row).

Furthermore, Twinkle (TW), Huggle (HG) and RedWarn are different software packages editors can use to deal with disruptive editing conveniently. 'Rollback' functions on all of these work in the same way, and give the option to specify the reason for a revert (which is especially handy when reverting an edit that was clearly made in good faith). As for the edit conflicts appearing it's just a matter of luck as to whether someone else reverts an edit first, at least as far as ordinary rollbacks and Twinkle are concerned. Personally I'm not familiar with using Huggle and RedWarn, so if you'd like to get started with using them, it might be helpful to reach out to another editor who does.

If you have any further questions about reverting edits or using Twinkle, feel free to let me know. Thank you for your efforts to keep vandalism at bay! Entranced98 (talk) 14:14, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, more than happy to help with rolling out the short descriptions (and on the plus side, 32 degrees meaning a day at the beach rather than getting frostbite is pretty nice!) Entranced98 (talk) 11:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately where I am from 32 degrees Celsius would be a very cool day for Summer. We get that tempature in the Spring and Fall. Most days in Summer are around 38 degrees Celsius and we get a few above 43. Then in winter we get plenty of -5 degree Celsius weather.

Oh right, guess the British weather where I am is boring on the regular! Entranced98 (talk) 18:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Entranced98

Is it often a fairly similar temperature? A family member of mine visited England a couple years ago and was shocked to find people just standing in the sun whenever it was out and talking about the "warm" weather. I believe it was about eighty degrees Fahrenheit, which would be an extremely cool summer day for us.

Pretty much, we're so used to dealing with the same old grey rainy days that everyone goes wild and gets their shorts and flip-flops on at the tiniest glimpse of the sun. The same sort of thing happens in the winter - everyone complains about the cold even if it's too warm for snow! Entranced98 (talk) 21:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my dear friend. I made the Rakan Daqar article, but unfortunately, users put the delete tag. This article has good sources, please don't delete it. Triumphal Arch (talk) 22:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, but since I am not an admin, whether or not the article will be deleted is not within my control. In the meantime, you can follow the instructions on that template to contest the deletion via the article's talk page, which an admin can review, but please don't remove any deletion tags in the meantime. Entranced98 (talk) 22:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata

Hi there. I noticed you added Wikidata to an article and wonder if you could answer a question. I've created a number of articles about towns in the US and Canada...mostly ghost towns...and I was wondering how to get them to appear on Google Maps? I think Google searches for Wikidata on articles. Do you know anything about this? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 10:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I am not aware of any links between Wikidata and Google Maps. It's likely that the two have their own separate policies for adding places, since Wikidata is contributed to by volunteers whereas Google Maps is run by a large corporation.

Wikidata does have ties to another mapping project known as OpenStreetMap, which is collaborative in a similar way to Wikimedia projects. There are, however, a number of licensing restrictions when it comes to importing data between Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. Someone with more experience using Wikidata for mapping purposes (such as an admin there) might be able to give you some more information and advice on this front. I apologise that I cannot be of any more help here, but thank you for asking me about this, and happy editing! Entranced98 (talk) 12:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hello! I saw you edited one of the articles I wrote. An editor has falsely accused me of a conflict of interest when I have nothing to do with any of the three companies I wrote articles for. They claim they contain promotional language. They started a discussion on one of the talk pages but not the other two so I have done so. Could you review the articles and help resolve any issues so the tag can be removed? The discussions are at Talk:Alto (rideshare), Talk:Tock (company), and Talk:Peerspace. PazSeguro (talk) 17:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed some content from these pages that did appear to have a strongly promotional tone, such as flowery language, sources that did not seem independent from the companies involved, and small details more fit for an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia (comparisons to competitor companies, for example). I see that you have responded to the editor who added the tag on Talk:Peerspace - they may have more details on what else could be done on this front.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
