User talk:4D4850

Hello Internet! Nobody knows me yet, so I think your looking for somebody else, and if I did something really silly, I have two three images you can use to whack me with a WikiTrout at User:4D4850.

4D4850, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Thank you HostBot!

Emergency Whale Button
Everybody who sees this (which is nobody), at this link, I have an unofficial now official template that I’ll let anyone copy the code of, as long as they put some note saying anyone can copy the code and note together. If anyone is curious, this is the template:

Emergency Smash Button

Emergency smash button|link=

Editors: Use this button if is malfunctioning or needs a major clue adjustment. ( [ direct link] ) Editors can a malfunctioning user to the village stocks. Category:Wikipedia slapping templates


 * This code will be kept here as a monument to when it was unofficial. So don’t call me out admins.

2021 storming of the United States Capitol overlinking RfC
This seems like something that you could have just boldly done, or at most mentioned reasons for on the talk page. Did you already try that, or is there some other reason that you felt an RfC was warranted? VQuakr (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I felt that since the page was controversial, that it would be good to make sure that the consensus wasn’t feeling like the links were fine. I’ll remove unnecessary links, and if it gets reverted, I’ll continue the RfC. 4D4850 (talk) 19:34, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds great! Certainly some caution is warranted in a controversial area and I applaud that, but for this specific case a RfC feels like overkill. Happy editing! VQuakr (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Self enforced one day break from editing for assuming bad faith
I won't make any edits from when school ends today to when school ends tomorrow due to assuming bad faith. 4D4850 (talk) 15:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

ANI
Hi 4D4850 - I'm reaching out to you because I've seen you hanging around ANI a lot recently, and commenting on quite a lot of threads. ANI is an open forum, anyone can read it and comment. However, speaking generally, folk expect people commenting there to be experienced, and very conversant with policy and best practice. I'm not saying that any particular comment you've made there is problematic, but I have seen cases before where new accounts take too much of an interest in ANI and end up rubbing people up the wrong way. After all, we're here to build an encyclopaedia, but you've made substantially more edits to ANI than you have to any other page here. Can I politely suggest that you maybe spend a bit more time contributing elsewhere? WP:GOCE is a place a lot of people get involved with, or you could try writing an article? WP:FIRST is a good guide to doing your first one. Trust me, it's a lot more enjoyable than watching people argue. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  19:07, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I choose to do the maintenance tasks on ANI, and I learn quite a bit of policy while lurking there. I know I can help the encyclopedia in more direct ways, but at the moment I choose to do tasks for ANI. Also, you vastly underestimate how much fun I have watching other people argue to attempt to reach an agreement. 4D4850 (talk) 19:18, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You should contribute on WP:DRN if you want to help the encyclopedia by resolving content-related stuff. I find you having fun over serious business like that kinda disturbing tbh. Feynstein (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I support the above concerns: I've seen various editors eventually blocked as not being here for the encyclopedia, for only editing admin noticeboards. Since this account is new it's an opportunity to avoid that, — Paleo  Neonate  – 10:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll start editing mainspace more. 4D4850 (talk) 14:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I must admit I've had the same concerns. The current thread on XIIIfromTOKYO, you're really not helping things there and are ultimately just causing more noise and confusion. Canterbury Tail talk 17:57, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll stop doing major contribs to controversial ANI threads, at least until I get better at discussing in a way that doesn't make large quantities of noise. 4D4850 (talk) 17:59, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * In other words, they are saying, this would be a phenomonally bad idea. ——  Serial  18:30, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * And it was. I didn't realize being unable to have self-consistent thoughts would buy me a full day of criticism. Not too bad though, given the fact I'm a failure at everything except math. 4D4850 (talk) 19:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I am trying to now only reply to ANI when people replied to me, though. 4D4850 (talk) 19:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion from the peanut gallery
Hi 4D4850, I hope you don't mind me sticking my oar in here; we briefly communicated at the GOCE earlier and my sensors detect a potentially good contributor in our midst. I echo Girth Summit's suggestion to concentrate on mainspace edits and refrain from commenting at the dramah boards until you're more experienced here. I've seen many editors pass this way before and many of those have been blocked or banned for being unintentionally disruptive in project space and digging their heels in ( springs to mind right now), and you don't want to end up like them. As my imaginary grandmother might have said; "It's fun to watch the circus but it's not much fun to be the clown".[citation needed]. Copy-editing is a good way to build skills and WP editing experience; the Guild's "how to" page is here, and you don't need to be a Guild member to copy-edit articles. Or choose a subject that interests you and improve those articles. You could also start by gnoming for a bit; that is, making small changes to articles that improve them. There is also Cleanup and Typo Team, where your help would also be appreciated. I wish you well and hope to see you at the Guild soon. Cheers and happy editing,  Baffle☿gab  02:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC).

Slightly stronger suggestion
Hi - when an editor rocks up at ANI with a problem, they are expecting an admin to take a look and offer advice. Offering your opinion about content on a noticeboard which is about conduct really isn't helpful, and it could actually be disruptive (by sidetracking the discussion, unnecessarily lengthening the thread and making the actual issue harder to deal with). Again - I'm not saying you can't read the page, or even comment there occasionally when you have something useful to offer, but remember the purpose of the noticeboard, and don't take it upon yourself to be the first person to respond to an enquiry. Girth Summit  (blether) 17:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I am trying to edit more on mainspace, but I haven't had time to fit in Wikipedia with all the other stuff I try to mentally juggle. 4D4850 (talk) 17:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , yes, I see that from your conribs, that's likely to be a much more productive way to contribute. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  17:59, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

I think I need to comment here before this gets archived
My thoughts are as follows: When you came to ANI and offered your help, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1060#The_Eloquent_Peasant I was completely taken aback. Your very specific comments to another user regarding me are as follows: "Remember to notify all parties with an ANI-notice. Block per WP:NOTHERE or TBAN for Puerto Rico and all articles of interest to wiki project Puerto Rico. 4D4850 (talk) 14:48, 22 February 2021 (UTC)"

"Remember to notify all parties with an ANI-notice" is fair. (the user had forgotten or didn't know to notify me) But what does Block per WP:NOTHERE or " TBAN for Puerto Rico and all articles of interest to wiki project Puerto Rico" mean?

What a very specific idea against me. Not saying anyone here noticed that specific exchange but I'm glad the community noticed, in general. I'm glad they're paying attention.

Just to note: No one, anywhere on WP has ever discussed topic banning me on Puerto Rico. So I found that extremely odd. Thank you to all. -The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 13:50, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, based on the diffs, it did appear that a topic ban would be valid. I apologize if you think I jumped to a conclusion too fast. I crossed out Block per WP:NOTHERE because I, after posting, realized a block would be extreme. I (again) apologize if you think I was acting too fast, but I don't have any personal beef against you. 4D4850 (talk) 19:33, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, note my use of the word did, as I think that a TBAN would no longer be valid. 4D4850 (talk) 19:34, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Carbon Tax Edit
Hello! I was curious as to why you removed the copy edit tag on Carbon Tax. It was right after I made some copy edits, so it seemed to lend the idea that you did it because of me. I am essentially certain that that page needs more copy-editing, but I do not have the time to do all the work needed there right now. Unless you have information that I don't or seriously believe that the page should no longer be tagged, I politely suggest you revert your edit.

All the best   Aapehill (talk) 02:04, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * No, I did it because I did some clarification and no more tags were on there. About to self-revert. 4D4850 (talk) 13:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Fake RNN Article
I have been interested in neural nets for NLP lately, and this seems pretty cool. What model are you using? jp×g 21:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't make it, but instead just put Andrej Karpathy's RNN sample for wikitext code into a user subpage to see how it parses. I am also interested in neural networks, I just don't know how to code. Thanks for expressing interest though! 4D4850 (talk) 16:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I do want to make a neural network though, or at least get a neural net's code to compile on my Debian ૭ (I couldn't find a debian logo in unicode, so this will have to suffice (also if anyone knows a debian logo in unicode, please tell me how to put it in wikitext)) system. 4D4850 (talk) 13:47, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
