So, I was permanently banned on a total whim this morning. You then use what I was informed is an alternative account of yours to revert every single edit I have ever made? This includes dozens of category edits, insertions of banners and other legit stuff. Could you please undo those reverts respectively. If you check them in any detail, you will find that I simply removed unsourced content and Doug Weller took great offense at this. Thank you! Lamptonian (talk) 14:19, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lamptonian: I wasn't the one who made the decision to mass-revert all your edits; I just assisted. Please check out User talk:Doug Weller#Lamptonian. If the admins there agree that some of the edits should be restored, I'd be happy to take care of it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:37, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You actively asked whether you could help out. You then revert every single one of my edits. Next time, please take a cursory glance at the content you are reverting. Thank you! Lamptonian (talk) 15:06, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned earlier, this wasn't my decision. If you think something is wrong and edits need to be restored, feel free to bring it up in that thread. If there is agreement to restore them, I'll be happy to do so. As for the help, yes, I did assist and I am always happy to help whenever and wherever I can. If I were the one deciding to revert all the edits, I'd definitely double-check everything first, but that decision had already been made. I was just handling the technical side of things, that's all :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alvin, hope you are doing well. We submitted introduction about our non-profit India Seeking Justice Forum (ISJF). We are working in the Social Development Sector & striving for serving more and more people as change makers. just after publishing the content we got a message regarding deletion accordance with the Wiki. we chose to contest for it because we believe that we let people know about us on wiki too just because people love to get informed by wiki. please help us. waiting for hearing from you. thanks

So they definitely should have been rolled back. Thanks again. Doug Weller talk 08:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Weller: Yeah, I noticed. Thank you so much for handling the situation so wisely :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:47, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This might be the third time I've asked you to check my NPP School responses. No offense, but I want to know if you don't have the time for this program, I would like to de-register from it. TNM101 (chat) 13:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, dear DreamRimmer,

You left a note on the GalaxyBot user talk page saying that it had been fixed but I'm running this Quarry query and it still lists 131 drafts and sandboxes that it says are eligible for CSD G13 speedy deletion. So, something is off. This 30/31 day difference happens at the end of most months (except for January and July) and it's really messed up in February when we have a 3 day difference. So, is there something that needs fixing in the query or is it an issue with GalaxyBot?

Thanks for any help you can provide and I hope you have an awesome New Year's Eve/Day! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) DR and Liz, you can use "INTERVAL 6 MONTH" instead of "INTERVAL 183 DAY" everywhere in the query, That should fix the issue, IMO. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:36, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I already did it yesterday ;) – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Can I ask what criteria you are using for this tagging, because it appears somewhat indiscriminate. Brick for example is not Israeli-produced or financed, the director isn't Israeli, and it's not topically about Israel. Many of the other films you've tagged seem similarly unrelated. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:19, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please check Wikipedia:Bot requests#Tagging Category:Cinema of Israel. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Ganesha811 pointed me at this thread. I was out of town for a bit and turned off my PC, which meant the bot was not running. This may happen again, so it's probably not a bad idea to have a backup. The source at User:Rick Bot/scripts is not necessarily current, but it's at least fairly close. I have prototyped a "meta bot" on AWS that runs as a scheduled lambda function that downloads the source from Wikipedia and runs it, but haven't switched over to that yet. I'm not entirely sure I want to pay for an AWS account to keep this running. In any event, thanks for the backup. -- Rick Block (talk) 19:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rick Block: Thanks for the update. Makes sense! – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
