April 2024
Hello, I'm User: InvadingInvader. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent April Fools warnings did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk.  Invading Invader  (userpage, talk) 22:53, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * ha ha ha! Good one! Surely deserved after the "you'll be blocked from editing if you continue reverting the af jokes". Happy AF Day! TheTechie (formerly Mseingth2133444) ( t &#47; c ) 22:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

my assignment
In summary, this is what I learned from the chapter. You can be bold and fix things. Don't worry if you mess up. Someone else can fix it or teach you how to fix it. Do not assume any non constructive edit is vandalism(assume good faith.) Be civil and do not scream/yell. (TYPING IN ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS TO GET A POINT ACROSS!!!!!) If someone reverts your edit; discuss it with them on their talkpage or the article talkpage. Do not engage in edit wars. Blitzfan51  speak to the manager  16:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Good work! Sorry for the late reply. TheTechie (formerly Mseingth2133444) ( t &#47; c ) 14:57, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

A few quick Google Books searches turn up multiple sources:











Please remove your speedy deletion request from this page. The article does not qualify for speedy deletion by any metric. Also, why does the article need copyediting? The spelling and grammar is just fine.--LadybugStardust (talk) 01:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Then source the article.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @LadybugStardust You do not even demonstrate the importance of the band. Even if there are sources, this may well be a failure of WP:GNG.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @LadybugStardust and yes, it does require copyediting. See example below:
 * thetechie@wikimedia :  ~/talk/  $  01:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sources include Billboard, Turner Classic Movies, the Library of Congress, and Penthouse, to name just a few that came up. Also, if you're going to be the grammar police, I should point out that "were" is actually correct in that context.--LadybugStardust (talk) 01:52, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll let the admins be the judge of this. I've had enough.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy deletion. A band with notable members is a a credible assertion of importance. I've also removed a bunch of inappropriate article improvement tags. Tag-bombing is not a good way to review new articles. -- Whpq (talk) 03:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Whpq: Sorry, I was just adding maintenance tags that seem important.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  03:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Did you even really look at the article before tagging?
 * Lead too short - It's a stub (and marked as such) The entire article is too short.
 * context - The first sentence makes it clear what this article is about.  It's a band.  They are American.  They play blues rock.  They existed from 1972 to 1974.  What context do you think is missing?
 * Copyedit - The stub is written in complete, grammatical sentences that are easily understood. What sort of copyediting is needed?
 * I don't see how those tags identify any issue in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 03:15, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Addressing your comments:
 * I see that it is marked as a stub in tiny print at the bottom of the page, but was not assessed as such, so I likely missed it.
 * On second thought, interesting.
 * Sorry about the mishap, Whpq.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  03:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I fixed the assessment thing myself. You're welcome.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  14:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Generation Beta
Hello TheTechie, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Generation Beta, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G4: the deletion discussion clearly endorsed working on the topic as a draft. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Ivanvector I see, understood. I just saw a comment in that AFD saying that we can tag it for G4 if it gets recreated.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  19:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't see that comment. I was looking into it more after I declined, and the deleted article was actually restored to User:Wesoree/Generation Beta, so the draft you tagged is a recreation. I'm not sure what to do about it yet, though. ( - so you're aware) Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:25, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Just curious, @Ivanvector why are you tagging the first? I know the second was the deleting admin.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  19:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Jay restored the userspace draft, and also was actually the one who declined your speedy but we edit-conflicted. Seems like they undid the tag but I notified you. Weird how the tools work sometimes. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I did not realize the userfied draft I was involved with was the same topic as this draftspace draft. I think the two pages should co-exist. Once User:Wesoree is ready for submission, he should merge it to the draft to avoid duplicate submissions.  Jay  💬 20:08, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Sorry! Didn't think of it that way. (Note: the signature is meant to make it look like a terminal prompt): What color would make it easy for you to see?  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  17:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * @Synorem Thank you! Though I was previously declined for not having a month of recent changes, do you think that applies now? Also, do you an admin who'd be willing to take my request. Thanks! --  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:00, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Frankly, Fastily is usually the main admin whom manages requests. My first request was denied for the same reason - mind you, so don't see that as a roadblock or as an encouragement to find go a different route.
 * I can't seem to find the exact date since your application, but so long as it wasn't anytime very recently then I'd say it's worth another shot. I see you already help with pending changes - which is a good start, and good experience. Synorem (talk) 01:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I got declined on 2024-03-21. Is that considered recent?  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * See here. Note: that was when I was under a different username.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I suppose it's a bit of an in-between, that's your judgement to make. Whether you choose to give it some time or re-apply, while I cannot say you have or haven't contributed for a month, your work is appreciated regardless. Synorem (talk) 01:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll hit Fastily up in their talk page and I'll see. Thanks regardless ---  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Your sig
Please change your sig. Appending "@Wikimedia" to your username could give the impression that you represent the Wikimedia Foundation, and so should be removed, Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:15, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Um, why? Others add things like @enwiki, so I added @wikimedia, b/c I don't only work on enwiki. It would be tedious, IMHO, to do thetechie@enwiki/commons/wikivoyage.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  14:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Why? For the reason I already gave. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Any talk page watchers, a third opinion is requested on this matter.  thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  19:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh - and to respond to this:
 * "Usernames that give the incorrect impression that the account is officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation; e.g. by containing "WMF"
 * Yeah, I'd say unfortunately the "@wikimedia" part sort of plays into that, as per the example given. Synorem (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, well, as I just realized that this signature is only on enwiki, I'll change it to that. thanks for bringing this up.   thetechie@wikimedia  :  ~/talk/  $  01:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

My sig
I apologize, but I'm not changing this, and this has been discussed multiple times (including at ANI); the signature has been the same for 15+ years and you can easily hover over my name and see by my user talk who I am. I am certainly not misrepresenting myself by using my true first name.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 20:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

CVUA
Hi TheTechie, Good day. I have removed you as the CVUA trainer. Pls note that you have only less than 500 edits on the main space and little experience on counter vandalism. I have more than 30K edits before I became one of the trainer as the program entails a boarder aspect of vandalism which need to understand a lot of vandalism guidelines and experience. I suggest you to take CVUA program yourself and complete it and have at least 5K edits before try again to be a trainer.  Cassiopeia  talk  03:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * That doesn't make sense? I wanted to train other users about vandalism. And that's <500 undeleted edits, I think. I think my contributions do counter vandalism, but go ahead, remove my name. I patrol RC and if that doesn't constitute enough experience, I don't know what does. ---  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  14:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi TheTechie, good day. You have (at this moment 553 edits on your talk page and 448 edits on mainspace which means you edits more on your talk page then your edits in the main space. Further more, you have reports to AIV only 13 times so not having a lot of experience in counter vandalism for being a CUVA trainer needs to know a lot more than some vandalism knowledge. If you really want to be a trainer then take the CVUA with an experience editor first. I suggest you to take WP:TWA program to understand some fundamental info and guidelines of Wikipedia to do the RC work. stay safe and best. Cassiopeia  talk  00:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay then.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  01:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry to revert your edit on your talk page as the Welcome message is automatically place on the very top of the talk page. I moved our message here so it is a continuing thread of our communication. stay safe and best. Cassiopeia  talk  02:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Which change?  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  21:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh the one to the Nickelodeon show?  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  21:10, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That edit has loads of grammar issues, removed references too, which is more of an issue than helpful. Which is why I reverted it.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  21:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay. It will not happen again. 73.79.229.7 (talk) 21:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @73.79.229.7 No worries, it looks like you haven't been welcomed so I just did that.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  22:05, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

CHAD MOTTOLA / VANDALISM / ???
The Techie - Good Day Please explain why you would feel why this change would be anything considered to be ' vandalism '. On reading your page it was noted you seem to handle vandalism however the entry in question was only straight correct fact. It very much appears the vast majority of you too many ' reverting / revision types ' know very little to absolutely nothing about sports or military facts or life, therefore why not arrange for some people who do know something in this regard to handle those two subjects in particular to make you all and Wikipedia, in particular, appear to be very much more professional. Therefore please now restore what was entered which you reverted. Chad Mottola will be most appreciative. Thank You Very Much - 69.159.70.156 69.159.70.156 (talk) 02:50, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I didn't revert anything. If you think I reverted something, give me a diff link. In addition, be mindful using ALL CAPS titles for topics, this may be perceived as aggression/shouting. Just a tip.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  02:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * and key word: "was difficult to distinguish" not "it is".  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  02:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * (passing-by user) How is changing but to although something that is difficult to distinguish from, let alone appears to be at all, vandalism? Did you just warn them for the wrong page? You didn't even revert their edit. – 143.208.237.220 (talk) 03:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * 69.159.70.156|69.159.70.156 and TheTechie, I believe the IP editor meant THIS warning you placed on the editor talk page. However, upon checking on the article where IP editor made the edit on April 16, 2024 - see HERE, there was no vandalism made nor TheTechie reverted the edit. I guess TheThechie place the warning to IP editor mistakenly placed - wrong editor talk page (may open too many editors/articles on their lap top and click the wrong tab - just a guess).  Cassiopeia</b>   talk  03:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Cassiopeia / TheTechie - Seems many of you not knowing / not seeing Wikipedia people are rather screwed up in reading through the follow up above, much of which which makes no sense whatsoever as to why anyone would even think to waste time and worry about a few words -
 * You Wikipedia editors / reveters are doing more harm than good as you are and will be driving away even more people from helping in correcting / altering / changing things which are totally incorrect / totally wrong / totally inaccurate - Why not try to do something smarter and line up some real " professionals " who know more than you all do with respect to certain topics / areas where people are saying things they know about and please stop all these far too many not wanted / not needed / insulting reverts - Thank You - 69.159.70.156 - 69.159.70.156 (talk) 13:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @User:69.159.70.156 You don't have to edit Wikipedia if you don't want to.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  14:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * TheTechie, Editors do make mistakes and when you know you did, then you should apologies. (pls read the TWA-guidelines).<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  14:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I know, the warning was on purpose, the message just said I wasn't sure if it was subtle vandalism.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  15:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It may not have been.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  15:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh well, I went ahead and removed it.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  15:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)\
 * Well, it is just a copyedit edit and not a vandalism nor anything to do with any knowledge of the subject nor the subject career/field of work in contrast that what the editor thinks. We all made mistake and when we do, we apologies and learnt from it and not doing again. As counter vandalism editors, at time we might click the wrong button, I certainly have had in the past and I apologies when I found out I did a mistake instead telling the editor they have choice not to edit Wikipedia. In addition,  I am not sure if the editor know that we are all volunteers here and edit in our own free time to help Wikipedia project and their choice of words is not kind for they might not understand to comment on the edit but not the person/editor Wikipedia guidelines. As mentioned to you before, CVUA is not only about vandalism but many other topics or issues involve. Here in this case, it is about how to dealing with (communication) editors. As you can see the messages on my talk page, I have been subjected to that many times, including in the past of physically threats, threating to sue me, name calling and all the  foul languages, profanity, curse words come my way because I am a counter vandalism editor and give warnings and advice to editors.

I'm talking about this IP talk page. They only had 2 edits (both vandalism), and were reverted. You were the first warning. Just wondering why did you start with an only warning? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 00:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Me Da Wikipedian Happy to explain. The user was vandalizing by changing potentially controversial info in quick succession, which is why I did that. Feel free to let me know if that didn't clear it up for you. Thanks ---  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  00:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Me Da Wikipedian Uh oh, looks like I got them confused with another IP. I have apologized and removed them from AIV. Sorry ---  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  00:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's fine. A quick look at my talk page will tell you I've made a lot of mistakes too Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Mind if I change the warning to level 1 or 2? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Me Da Wikipedian Go ahead. Seriously. And about mistakes, it's funny, because I've never made this mistake before. Oh well. Yes, you may do that. Signed ---   thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  01:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, this is like the 2nd time in 3 days I've notified a experienced editor about giving only warnings first (although the other one doesn't seem to have just made a mistake) Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Me Da Wikipedian Yeah, the only other place I've done it, as far as I can tell, was here.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  01:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Whoops wrong Barnstar. I meant to give "The Random Acts of Kindness" one. WikiLove didn't seem to work.
 * Here it is:
