Help with Huggle

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hello, I recently download the Huggle anti-vandalism tool. However, I keep getting an error saying that I don't have the 'rollback permissions on this project'. Is this because I am a new user? Thanks. Boomer Vial (talk) 03:25, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Boomer Vial:, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! - Since Huggle is a very advanced tool (with the ability to cause serious destruction if used improperly) you need to have the rollback permission on the English Misplaced Pages to use it. This permission is granted to users who have shown they are competent in Misplaced Pages policies and know how to fight vandalism! You can request rollback permission here, but you would not be accepted at this time. In the mean time, you can consider using your fist to revert any vandalism you see! Let me know if you have any questions! --allthefoxes 03:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey @Allthefoxes:, just one other question. Is there any anti-vandalism tools that I can use as a new user, or are they all too advanced? If so, that is fine, I will rely on doing it myself for the time being. Cheers. Boomer Vial (talk) 03:40, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:TWINKLE is a tool you could use right now! :) However, just remember all changes you make, even with a tool, are your responsibility. Be careful, and I highly suggest you read up on Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. --allthefoxes 03:42, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for the response @Allthefoxes:. Cheers. :) Boomer Vial (talk) 03:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Warnings

If you revert someones edit, it is a good idea to give them a warning, if they are a new user! Read about this here --allthefoxes 03:45, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. :) Boomer Vial (talk) 03:46, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Reliable sources

Hi, may I suggest that you look at information contained in ref tags. Often these allow you to find the reliable sources for the reliably sourced information added to an article. Have a nice day. 122.56.200.79 (talk) 05:11, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hello, I was wondering how a user becomes a 'autoconfirmed' or 'confirmed' user. Thanks. Boomer Vial (talk) 05:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed happens after a user has 10 contributions within 4 days. SwisterTwister talk 05:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thank you SwisterTwister. Cheers. :) Boomer Vial (talk) 05:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Certainly, if you want to familiarize yourself with how Misplaced Pages works, see WP:Welcome and WP:New contributors' help page. Also, you may ask me any questions at my talk page as well. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 05:38, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey, SwisterTwisted, how do I check if my account has been made confirmed? I still cannot see the Twinkle tool under my preferences. Cheers. Boomer Vial (talk) 06:06, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

It may not have gone through yet (see WP:AUTOCONFIRM). You may also ask for it to be enacted instantly at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions/Confirmed. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:10, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

@SwisterTwister: just FYI, confirming a user early is almost never done except in cases of legitimate alternate accounts. The reason is that the bar for autoconfirmation is deliberately quite low. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:32, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Kali

Why have the edits been removed? Or rather called "vandalism". I've put in the right references and citations to the change. 106.51.233.181 (talk) 06:37, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2016

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. BoxOfChickens (talk · contribs · CSD/ProD log) 20:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, it slipped my mind while typing that up. Boomer Vial (talk) 20:08, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Antivandalism

Hello Boomer Vial, I noticed you are also busy with antivandalism, did you use Twinkle already? There is a script (I use it myself with TW) that lets you put the user warning on a vandals Usertalkpage with one click (you'll still need to copy/paste the vandalised Article's title, though), if you are not already using it I can look the page up for you. Because there are too many people having fun at vandalising :-) Poepkop (talk) 17:51, 6 January 2016 (UTC).

Hey, User:Poepkop! Yeah, I'm aware of Twinkle, and I was actually waiting to be auto confirmed so I can use it. Thank you though! Cheers! Boomer Vial (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Boomer Vial, when you are reverting an edit for vandalism, please do provide a reason. 106.51.234.78 (talk) 06:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Sammy Figueroa

He himself thinks that is too much. So I delete it. And also I added a complete section about of his biography.

reference = https://en.wikipedia.org/Anushasana_Parva

this page above is being repeatedly deleted for unknown reasons.

The page is a summary of the anusasana parva. A summary of the book is not vandalism. All the pages and paragraphs have references cited to them. the references are from sacred-texts.com in that website the anusasana parva translation is available. why are these paragraphs being repeatedly deleted. Cluebot only objected to certain phrases which were modified the reply to cluebot has been accepted. the edit is only to say that adding paragraphs with references is not vandalism.

if there is any specific para to which there is an objection, please name it.

thanks

Note

Hi Boomer, re this edit, please be aware that a user is allowed to remove almost any kind of warning from their own user talk page: see wp:OWNTALK. There is no need to restore the old warnings. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 19:12, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Oh, ok. I reverted them partly because of that, and partly because they were (more than likely) bad-edit edits. Thanks for giving me the heads up, though User:DVdm. Cheers. Boomer Vial (talk) 19:15, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

re: Kurds in Russia

Did you give me a barnstar?

An IP which had been vandalizing (business manager claimed it was a public wifi network after I placed a shared IP notice) gave me a barnstar with your signature on it. Was that intentional? BoxOfChickens (talk · contribs · CSD/ProD log) 18:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey how do I put a strike-through in text? I want to strike out some text that I wrote that has become irrelevant. Boomer Vial (talk) 16:20, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

You add <s> to the start and </s> to the end. Example. Dat Guy_Contribs 16:26, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

kaby lake detail

long story short, the reason I removed some some content was because there is no source support that specification, nor cache or clock speed is proven to be true. however some AMD fanboy from Malaysia tried to be vandalism by editing the article with false information. I will personally apologize for inconvenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:403:20F0:DDDE:7C1B:B5E3:A440 (talk) 08:00, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

@2601:243:403:20F0:DDDE:7C1B:B5E3:A440: Ohhh, I see. Well, apologies about reverting your edits, and mislabeling them as vandalism. Also, please remember to sign your posts with four tildes (~). Sinebot will not catch every unsigned edit. Thanks. Boomer Vial (talk) 21:09, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Tim Zukas

Re your warning to Tim Zukas, be aware that this user just recently came off a SIX MONTH suspension for disruptive editing for making similar mass deletions, and also doing so either without or with misleading edit summaries. He also does this via thousands of logged out edits from dozens of anonymous IPs as well. It looks as if he is at it again and he needs close watching. Centpacrr (talk) 12:26, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

@Centpacrr: Agreed, I left him a final vandalism warning, and he will be reported if continues to change or remove information without an explanation. Thanks. Boomer Vial 18:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Based on my and a raft of other editors' experience with him over several years this won't take long. Mr. Zukas does not change his stripes. See HERE. Centpacrr (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've re-blocked him indef. SQL 22:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

@SQL: Thank you. Cheers! :) That a jar of puke? 22:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Heads up, the talkpage link never works on your own talkpage. SQL 22:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

@SQL: Haha, thanks. I had to revert my signature anyways, as I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Cheers! Boomer Vial 22:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC) It actually doesn't seem to work on my talk page. I tested it on other pages, and it seemed to work. Boomer Vial 22:36, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
