User talk:MathXplore/Archive 1

unauthorized users deleting
Hello @MathXplore I ask you for help again. Some not logged in user edited my marathi wikipedia talk page again w:mr:User talk:Undekagon30, by deleting my entry, what can I do to permanantly block unauthorized users from doing so? (and how can I link from here to a wikipedia in a different language?) Undekagon30 (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed interwiki link. MathXplore (talk) 11:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For interwiki linking, please see the current version of your message (I fixed the interwiki link). MathXplore (talk) 11:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, understood Undekagon30 (talk) 11:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Since I don't know the local policy of Marathi Wikipedia, I don't if there is a way to permanently block unauthorized (in this case, not auto-confirmed) users. For temporary semi-protection over there, please contact Marathi Wikipedia local admins. User talk pages are discussion venues, so they are usually open to everyone (except talk page archives etc.). I hope this can help you. MathXplore (talk) 11:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you for your help and advice. I barely speak Marathi and mostly use Marathi Wikipedia for reading articles (still with the help of a lot of translation tooling).
 * I am a beginning student of Marathi and try to contribute to English wiktionary with automated tools (templates / Lua modules) for Marathi noun declension, verb conjugation, script transliteration and programming alike and I am still a beginning editor on wikipedia.
 * But maybe my Marathi basic language knowledge is enough to ask there. I will at least try.
 * (I also had a similar question to Sanskrit wiktionary where there is a gadget javascript included on almost every article and user page which I personally don't like and for which I doubt it could also be misused for cross site scripting by anybody evil wishing to do so.)

Query
Hey, MathXplore,

I have a question for you. How are you finding orphaned talk pages? I have a query I run a couple of times a day on Quarry that locates them but with the replag system problems right now, Quarry isn't working. But you are still finding these pages and tagging them for speedy deletion. Are you just keeping a close eye on Recent changes or do you have some other system you are using? Thanks for any information you can provide. And thank you for all of your contributions to the project. Liz Read! Talk! 03:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I'm just keeping a close eye on Recent changes. MathXplore (talk) 03:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, you have eagle eyes! Thank you for your diligence! It helps keep junk off the site. Liz Read! Talk! 04:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

About Talk:Ahmet Hamdi Üçpınarlar
Hi MathXplore,

There is a Turkish politician of this name - please see Ahmet Üçpınarla

Instead of outright WP:A8 deletion, I have moved this to Draft:Ahmet Üçpınarlar

I would appreciate your opinions about this: wrong, right, something else?

 * Hello, if there is anyone who wants to work on the draft, I have no reason to stop them. Thank you for the information. MathXplore (talk) 10:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

FYI
This edit (now reverted) reinstated vandalism. "[Player] is the owner of [rival team]" is a common type of vandalism on sports articles. Wracking talk! 14:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Apologies, I didn't know that type of edits. Thank you for the information. MathXplore (talk) 14:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course! To the unfamiliar eye, it can look relatively legitimate. Wracking  talk! 14:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

G5 Deletion tagging
Please do not tag pages for WP:CSD G5 deletion if the account has not been blocked. I understand you've submitted an SPI report, but until that's been acted on by a reviewing administrator, the pages those users have created are not eligible. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * OK, thank you for the instructions. MathXplore (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
