User talk:KeroppiKid

hello!
first talk page post KeroppiKid (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

how do I create sub pages on my user?
i came up with this idea, basically mini articles meant to be short reads but still decent quality that you would access from my user page, thing is I have no idea how or if I can create sub-pages there. KeroppiKid (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Renewal6. An edit that you recently made to 1919–20 Gillingham F.C. season seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Renewal6 (talk) 16:33, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Compromised account?
I think you need to explain this edit summary. And the edit itself. 57.140.16.56 (talk) 13:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)


 * okay I didn't know about this until you alerted me to it, I was away for the evening last night and I left Wikipedia in an open tab on my computer. I see the edit has already been reverted, that's good. The account wasn't really compromised, it was just my brother having access to it. I apologize for any disorder this edit might have caused.

 * Your account is, in fact, compromised. You should read Compromised accounts. And apparently this is the second time, since someone using your account vandalized another article in the same way yesterday. I won't personally drag you to ANI since that place is a Great Dismal Swamp and the vandalism was relatively minor, but you should change your password immediately, never let anyone access your account again, and make sure the behavior from the past two days is not repeated. 57.140.16.56 (talk) 15:44, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for informing me of this. KeroppiKid (talk) 15:52, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

There is a notice for admins on my profile, regarding what to do if my account is compromised.
Basic summary is, if you see this account being used for vandalism, check the IP address. If it is not one you recognize being used with this account, here's what to do in the future:

Immedietly block this account indefinitely. Don't allow talk page access, either. I will have an alternate account by then with an encrypted password stored on a flash drive, that account will post on the talk page for 2 reasons:

-informing the admins that KeroppiKid was hacked

-verifying that I have gotten access back and changed the password (basically a greenlight to unblock the account) KeroppiKid (talk) 16:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)


 * KeroppiKid, please stop the nonsense. Your user page seems to imply that your current password is still known by more people than just you, so please clarify if that's actually the case before continuing to edit, and disclose the name of the secondary account (cf. WP:SOCK). ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:51, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That was the case, and the secondary account is KeroSalt (the one I'm writing from currently). KeroSalt (talk) 20:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Hate that I had to exit my hiatus to deal with this, but here I am.
I've only recently started getting better, I've been sick the past week. Today was my first day back at school, and I just got back, so I hadn't been alerted to this. As of current, I can't access the account, but I can confirm that this is me. The admins followed instructions and blocked the account, which is terrific. Was planning on taking care of this tomorrow, but I guess I have to do it today.

DON'T unblock the account. Going to try and re-obtain the password. If you guys could share any methods to prevent this in the future, I'd appreciate it.

I have access again.
As previously stated, I think the hackers are gone, so it should be safe to unblock the account. KeroppiKid (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
