Rollback
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AEntranced98 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 New admin school/Rollback and 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)

 * 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.

whats wrong with my edits boi

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 When the Wikidata entry is under an out-of-date synonym, as is the case at Aloiampelos ciliaris, the correct links can only be obtained by adding two taxonbar templates – the first for the correct Wikidata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)


 * 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)


 * 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)


 * 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)

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)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)

On Ricky Rubio reversal
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)
 * 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)

Can you check the orthography of the article Torre-Pacheco?
First of all, I thank you for the orthographic correction in the article Districts of Cartagena, Spain.

The article of the municipality Torre-Pacheco has potential for reaching the category Starter as minimum, but it seems to have some orthographic faults.

Can you revise and check the article, please?

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:


 * Reviewing pending changes, the guideline and tutorial on using the rights and reviewing pending changes.
 * Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
 * Protection policy, 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)
 * Thank you for granting these rights! :) Entranced98 (talk) 09:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

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)


 * 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!

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)


 * 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)
 * Thank you for the clarification. CSMention269 (talk) 15:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * 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.
