Request on 18:26:32, 17 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Johnkarmen
Hello, thanks for reviewing this article. It's my first time writing an article and i'm having a hard time understanding what's wrong here. All the sources are, to my opinion, reliable from the person whose i'm writing about official accounts ( Biography ), from the company he's working with ( Meta/Facebook ) official Facebook page and account ( hall of fame page and bounties announcement which can't be edited or created by no one than the Meta/Facebook team) and from trusted and reliable online media sources ( Malwarebytes, a well known cyber security company and also Forbes which is also a trusted source of information, the first had an official interview with the person and the second got the news about the vulnerability mentioned from the Person official blog and which was confirmed also by Meta/Facebook )

In case i'm wrong here, could you please give me some examples of reliable sources to get this article accepted.

Thank you! Regards. Johnkarmen (talk) 18:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Johnkarmen, thanks for reaching for help. The article relies on too many primary sources and too few secondary reliable sources. All the pages from Facebook are considered to be primary. The Forbes article is not reliable: See WP:FORBESCON. I retract my previous comment: the Malwarebytes blog is reliable compared to the rest of the sources, however, you will need more than just that for your reliable sources. And a quick search does not have many results show up, so it is uncertain whether the subject is notable. 0x Deadbeef 00:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

SPI timeline tool
You might want to look at my spi-tools "Consolidated timeline" tool. See https://spi-tools-dev.toolforge.org/spi/sock-select/Patricialiew/ -- RoySmith (talk) 21:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * RoySmith, thanks for pointing me to that tool, nice work! It is good to see that some version of this is already implemented somewhere. I think it could be refactored to allow generating a cross-wiki timeline, but I am not sufficiently familiar with Python and your tool to make that change. Thanks again! 0x Deadbeef 04:19, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's an interesting idea. The code already is architected to accept multiple data streams and it does a merge sort to get the final timeline.  Adding additional streams (i.e. from other wikis) shouldn't be too difficult. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:51, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

#DropKiwiFarms campaign re: Cloudflare & FiberHub
Hi, since I can't post to the Kiwi Farms talk page, thought I'd share this with you:

The Guardian: Cloudflare defends providing security services to trans trolling website Kiwi Farms "The targeting of Sorrenti, as well as other gender diverse people online, led to a campaign for Cloudflare – and website host Fibrehub – to cease providing services to Kiwi Farms."

This seems like a more neutral wording than saying they want "debilitating virtual attacks" to happen (as was proposed by another editor). They just want Cloudflare and FiberHub to drop support for Kiwi Farms, as I'm sure you know. Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:44, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, it appears they want Cloud VPS to end support for Kiwi Farms as their e-mail provider, according to the dropkiwifarms.net campaign website. Can't find a secondary source that mentions Cloud VPS though. 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:41, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information. Even though these articles disagree with each other, so far no sources have suggested that the ultimate goal is to DDoS Cloudflare. Stopping Cloudflare to provide DDoS protection is one, while DDoSing cloudflare is another. Also have you thought about creating an account? Happy editing. 0x Deadbeef 05:28, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

LGB Alliance
Responding to the comment you left on my talk page: I'm very aware of WP:NPOV, and I added that line to LGB Alliance because of WP:NPOV. NPOV doesn't mean we have to take a view from nowhere, it means we have to follow the sources, and if you look at the criticism section it's pretty overwhelmingly clear that we have the sourcing to describe the LGB Alliance as "anti-trans". Loki (talk) 11:22, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @LokiTheLiar: Look at Category:Organisations that oppose transgender rights in the United Kingdom. Do you see a pattern there? None of them have "[xxx] is an anti-trans group" at the front. In fact, the first setence already suggests that they are anti-trans. It is unencyclopedic to label something as anti-trans. 0x Deadbeef 11:29, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * What? Yes they do, Transgender Trend does in those words exactly.
 * Furthermore, we say similar, and arguably worse, things about other organizations in their lead. E.g. "The National Policy Institute is a white supremacist think tank..." It's not unencyclopedic, and in fact I and many others would argue it's what WP:NPOV requires. Loki (talk) 11:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @LokiTheLiar: thank you for the links. My bad. Feel free to trout me. 0x Deadbeef 11:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem!
 * I've a mind to write an essay on "how to cover hate groups on Wikipedia" to be honest, since IME it's a major area where usual preconception about what WP:NPOV means (don't be too positive or negative) and what it actually means (follow the wording of the sources) diverge pretty significantly. Loki (talk) 11:47, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That would be a good idea. I feel bad for leaving a warning, because I should have discussed the edit first. I believe more people should be pointed to such an essay. 0x Deadbeef 11:53, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Gaggle Updates
Hi there, I'm trying to understand why my page updates to Gaggle (Software) keep getting rejected? It seems like a similar company in our industry, GoGuardian, has no issues publishing essentially the same things. Why does there seem to be partiality given to them? Poindexter 003 (talk) 17:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Poindexter 003: Do you see the bar on the GoGuardian article that says this is an advertisement? That means it will need attention from people to make it not look like an advertisement. Just because one article was phrased like an advertisement does not mean that another article should look the same. Instead of carrying out major changes to the article like you did, we should start with small edits first. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ 17:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I do see that. I also see that the notice has been on their page since August of 2020, and yet the page and the info on it still stands. I'm simply trying to post the bare bones information on what Gaggle does. I will heed your advice and start out one sentence at a time if that is what is necessary. Poindexter 003 (talk) 18:10, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The notice is indefinite. Just because it was there since 2020-08, does not mean that we automatically accept new pieces of advertisements. In fact, one of the main reasons that it remained there is that editors are too busy to stop new advertisements from being added. So it would be greatly appreciated if you do not increase the need for that work.
 * No need for one sentence at a time. You should make edit requests instead of adding edits yourself if you are not very familiar with our policies. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ 18:14, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand your position. However, I do find it odd given the amount of recent activity on their history page that editors/commenters have not addressed this issue long before - if it indeed is too much like an advertisement and is against Wikipedia policy. All I'm asking is that our page to be represented fairly and with the same level of scrutiny as our competitors in the same space. Thank you. Poindexter 003 (talk) 18:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Poindexter 003: You can't ask people to treat articles fairly because Wikipedia articles are only developed/improved based on the amount of attention it receives. I can't do anything to make it fairer myself. If you would like to help out in reducing advertisements, you could submit COI edit requests for that company as well. Thanks for your understanding. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ 18:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

There is no citation for the current description, which is wrong anyway as he was a British subject and soldier.

External Link from Wikipedia Article on Turnitin
External Link from Wikipedia Article on Turnitin to plagiarism.org

I am writing about your reversion of an external link I added for plagiarism.org.

I would gladly add a wikilink for plagiarism.org -- if there were a useful Wikipedia article on plagiarism.org. There is not. There is a Redirect Page. But the Redirect Page for plagiarism.org redirects to the Wikipedia article on Turnitin. I did not think a circular reference would be useful.

I want to provide a way, easier than copying and pasting, for a user to get from the Wikipedia article on Turnitin to plagiarism.org. What is the right way to do that? 108.36.229.19 (talk) 17:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * If we have an article on it, then it is okay to link to it. If not, then I don't think it should be included. External links on Turnitin should only be official links and we should minimize the amount of links there are. Even if plagiarism.org could be official, we only need 1 link. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 06:43, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

> Even if plagiarism.org could be official, we only need 1 link

What is the 1 link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.36.229.19 (talk) 13:51, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The link to Turnitin's official website. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 13:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

In the article on Turnitin there is a link to

http://turnitin.com/

I followed that link. I do not think that link is useful because

1) The link is not associated with the article text

plagiarism.org

You have to navigate somewhere different to click it

2 ) A link to

http://turnitin.com/

is not a link to plagiarism.org

3) There is no obvious link from

http://turnitin.com/

to plagiarism.org

4) I am pretty sure that there is no nonobvious link from

http://turnitin.com/

to plagiarism.org because I searched for 'plagiarism.org'

https://www.turnitin.com/search?q=plagiarism.org

The search returned the text

No results

An alternative to http://turnitin.com/ would be the wikilink Plagiarism.org. Which does exist. Kind of. Plagiarism.org is a redirect page to Turnitin. I want to link out of Turnitin. Technically Plagiarism.org will link out of Turnitin. But the redirect page will link right back to Turnitin. From my point of view, the page will stay the same.

I do not think that Plagiarism.org is useful.

The text from the article is

Turnitin, LLC also runs the informational website plagiarism.org

I did not write that text. But I think it is useful. I would like to make the text more useful by covering 'plagiarism.org' with a link that leads somewhere useful.

http://turnitin.com/ is not useful for the reasons I listed above.

Plagiarism.org is not useful because it does not lead anywhere useful.

What useful link can I attach to the text 'plagiarism.org'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.36.229.19 (talk) 20:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, we simply can't link it if it isn't the primary official link and it doesn't have an article. I suppose readers can just type it in their address bar if they want to visit the website. Otherwise allowing links like this will run into various advertising issues. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 00:14, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:2022 Urumqi Protests.png
Thanks for uploading File:2022 Urumqi Protests.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Wcam (talk) 18:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I think you've confused redirecting and moving.

Please revert the merge to the old version. That is Non-constructive and unreliable change. Please warn them "Have a consensus at talk page before you merge or change bigger".

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from  to  '''

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as and  have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.


 * Reminders
 * Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
 * There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Copyvio on Draft:Henderson County Bridge
Am I missing something? You tagged Draft:Henderson County Bridge as a copyvio from https://bridgehunter.com/nc/henderson/green-river/ but aside from one very short phrase, there is nothing copied form that source, and the one phrase is could easily have been arrived at independently. -- Whpq (talk) 14:59, 5 January 2023 (UTC)


 * From the draft: Built in 1927, it was named High Bridge due to its deck height of 132.4 ft above Green River, one of the highest in the eastern United States at the time
 * From webpage: Built 1927. Called High Bridge because of deck height 132.4 feet above river.
 * From draft: In 2001 the new bridge was built next to High Bridge and the elder was left as a historic ruin which still stands today.
 * From webpage: Left as a historic ruin when new steel stringer, 4 span- girder bridge nearby replaced it in 2001 <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 15:15, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I modified a comment of yours
I noticed that you had mentioned the exact string that a private filter had matched. I thought that this might be a problem from a WP:BEANS perspective, and also thought that private filters were only meant to be discussed in a broad, non-specific manner so I [removed] it. I figured I'd better discuss with you before going further (I.e. RevDel). Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 11:55, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Question
Hi 0xDeadbeef

I recently look at my [edit filter log] for the first time and saw some entries that were confusing.

Could you take a look at the ones on 16:28, 2 December 2022 and 07:16, 19 December 2022? No need to tell me what exactly triggered the filter cause WP:Beans exists. I'd just like to know if those weren't false positives.

I know that Edit filter/False positives is normally the place for this, but since they're not recent edits and not really urgent, I thought I'll just message you directly, hope that's not a problem for you. 1AmNobody24 (talk) 14:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

An issue related to previous template errors
Hi, Ox ... good stuff happening! Barnstar on the way once I get creative juices flowing following on a most dreadful month all round. Do you follow Category:Article history templates with errors? Here is a problem (now corrected) caused by a previous empty entry for DYK in AH. There were two of those so far; I'm happy to go behind and fix them, as I imagine it's not an easy thing to code for and probably not worth it. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  15:22, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Rust revision 1144344877
What's so confusing? unsafe Rust does NOT disable any compiler checks, it just grants access to additional features that are unchecked. Rustmilian (talk) 13:29, 18 March 2023 (UTC)


 * You gain access to specifically :
 * 1. Dereference a raw pointer
 * 2. Call an unsafe function or method
 * 3. Access or modify a mutable static variable
 * 4. Implement an unsafe trait
 * 5. Access fields of unions
 * The unsafe keyword does not disable any of Rust’s safety checks with the unsafe code blocks; if you use a reference in unsafe code, it will still be checked.
 * As complicated as it may sound at first it's really not complicated at all, plus the reference is right there. Rustmilian (talk) 13:40, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rustmilian: Thank you for taking your time to reach out to me. I don't think that sentence is really needed. The exact wording is "unsafe [can be used] to subvert [restrictions placed by the borrow checker]" and not "disable compiler checks". And it does disable compiler checks. For example it disables the compiler check for calling unsafe function or doing unsafe operations. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 15:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Unsafe Rust is treated as a second language hidden inside Safe Rust.
 * Unsafe functions are designed to not be checked; there's nothing to disable; hence why they're explicit use via the unsafe keyword.
 * The problem is if this isn't mentioned then the common misconception that unsafe disables checking for safe functions will continue.
 * I suggest you giving this a full read.
 * https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html Rustmilian (talk) 16:00, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rustmilian: If no reliable sources call this a "common misconception" then we can't call it a common misconception. Wikipedia isn't the place to right great wrongs and I think the current description is already pretty accurate. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 16:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

 * @EvanEpic1234: Thanks for the question. If you want to find articles that you might be interesting in working on, you can take a look at Contents. Additionally, you can find groups called "WikiProjects" where people sharing interest in a topic can collaborate and track how they can help improve articles: WikiProject Directory.
 * If you want to find things that you can do to help Wikipedia, you can go to Task Center to see an overview of what things you can help us with.

Nina Hartley as Feminist
Nina Hartley exemplifies the diverse roles women play in today's world. She is well-known for her contributions to feminism, sex education, and writing, consistently challenging societal norms. As a strong supporter of sex-positive feminism, she emphasizes the importance of women's sexual autonomy and pushes against patriarchal expectations that aim to suppress it.

Some people criticize Hartley for her career in the adult entertainment industry, arguing that it contradicts feminist ideals. However, these criticisms fail to grasp the essence of feminism, which fundamentally supports women's choices and agency. Hartley's perspective on sex work highlights the significance of understanding and respecting women's choices without societal judgment. Her advocacy for the rights of sex workers affirms her commitment to feminist principles, recognizing the deep connection between women's experiences and sex work.

Additionally, Hartley's association with other influential figures in the industry, such as her long-time friend and star Candida Royalle, demonstrates her contributions to the sex-positive movement. Royalle, too, has significantly impacted the sex-positive movement, emphasizing the influence of such figures within the industry.

The sex-positive feminist movement, which Hartley is part of, upholds the ideals of second-wave feminism while empowering women to make informed decisions about their sexuality. This movement challenges traditional narratives and promotes pleasure from a feminist perspective, as discussed in "The feminist porn book: the politics of producing pleasure."

In summary, Nina Hartley's legacy extends beyond her on-screen performances. Her relentless advocacy for women's rights, sexual autonomy, and the broader feminist movement is a powerful reminder that feminism is about choice, agency, and the freedom to shape one's own path. Torah mishna (talk) 14:22, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Torah mishna, we don't talk using essay paragraphs on Wikipedia. Do you have any suggestions for the Nina Hartley section on the article? That should cover this topic pretty well. Feel free to improve it using sources. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 14:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I fail to see why we need to use the keyword activism in place for feminism? Feminism and activism are intertwined. I don't see her as a major activist akin to Martin Luther King, BLM or Dorothy Day. She doesn't even attend Slut walks. She speaks about sex positive feminism, polyamory and other hot topics. She played a role in the feminist sex wars. I saw prior edits and they really brought some light into her contributions with one even going as far as to upload and cite a primary article discussing sex positive feminist, feminist porn wars and Marxism in some black/white 1970s/1980s quarterly. I don't know why you saying she is an activist and why you are essentially claiming intellectual hegemony over this topic. I have never once thought of her as an activist but yes you are correct feminist and activism are intertwined. Please explain your logic for controlling this in the manner you are attempting. There are countless sources detailing her as a feminist. I mean there are countless almost. Why are we ignoring them?  Torah mishna (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Torah mishna I'm not sure why you don't like the word "activism". I think the thing is that we have to say what most sources say about her and if sources like news articles primarily describe her as a pornstar, then that is what she should be described as. Please bring this up at the article's talk page and cite the necessary sources (with links) instead of just saying that they exist. When I have time, I could take a look at the database sources you have supplied, but please resolve this with other editors first. <span style="font-family:Iosevka,monospace">0x Deadbeef →∞ (talk to me) 23:08, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Also it is not about liking the word "activist". I don't know why you don't like the word feminist. I understand she is a porn star. No one is denying that. What you are denying is that she is also a feminist, activist and former nurse. You men are just stuck on her porn career which is kind of sexist. Mary Magdalene spent much of her life as a prostitute but that shouldn't take away from that fact that she was a major figure in Christianity. A matter of fact many women who were prominent in the history of man kind were sex workers. She is sex worker yes we know but my point is that she played a role in the feminist porn wars, she has made minor contributions to sex positive feminism, she has authored best selling books, she speaks at Ivy league intuitions; She takes her sex-positive feminist views, sex worker activism and ability to educate the modern post sexual-revolution world as seriously as she takes her porn career, sir. The fact that you are desperately trying to deny this is sexist in my opinion. Torah mishna (talk) 12:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
