Good afternoon. A user that
you unbanned last year has exhibited some worrying behavior. Please see
Talk:Fishing cat and attached GANs, as well as
User talk:Grungaloo. This kind of thing is not my forte, and I would appreciate another set of eyes from someone who is familiar with the situation. Please let me know your thoughts and your advice on the proper course of action.

Look I have no idea how to deal with this. Gaslighting me on my talk page now, "Your actions have shown me that you hate me" & "I'll quit GA to make you happy". That's just... not okay lol.
I have looked at the user's other GANs and personally think that most of them (especially
Megafauna, which has large uncited sections) would not pass a review at this stage. However, I don't want to be the one who goes and fails them because this user clearly has animosity towards me. I would appreciate assistance from an administrator who is better versed in dispute resolution to address this.

User:AkiraAnastasia12345
Hello! I saw a comment made by
AkiraAnastasia12345 on their talk page that I thought I should bring to your attention. Their, they said: What if someone doxx your profile. You can't even use your name User:Ingenuity. I want to bring this to your attention because it seems like it might be a threat to dox you, but I'm not completely sure that that is the case, as it is worded oddly.

I read that more as a "how would you feel if someone doxxed you", it doesn't really look like a threat to me. —

An

Miscellaneous
Editors are invited to sign up for
The Core Contest, an initiative running from April 15 to May 31, which aims to improve
vital and other core articles on Wikipedia.
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the
May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the
Awards page and the
Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated
NPP Browser tool.
@
TonyTheTiger: yes, I think that would be best. However, you can keep nominations open if they're currently under review. —

Owen×☎ 20:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)reply
I didn't think my participation in that DRV renders me WP:INVOLVED, and do not have strong views about the article either way. But since you raised the issue, let's take it to
AN and see what others think.
Owen×☎ 22:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)reply
OwenX Of course it renders you involved. But I don't think it needs to go to AN, I simply think you should leave the close to Ingenuity, because if you take part and the close is anything other than Delete, Merge or Redirect then there will be a controversy that we really don't need.
Black Kite (talk) 22:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC)reply
That's a valid point. I already posted the question on AN, but will step aside for now.
Owen×☎ 23:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Thanks (I had already posted at AN). To be clear, I'm not accusing you of being biased, only that there clearly would be an issue if anyone decided to take it to DRV (it would almost certainly be re-opened, and we definitely don't need a fourth AfD).
Black Kite (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Fair point. I should have thought of that before spending over an hour carefully reviewing 140 !votes there...

I appreciate your effort in closing the AfD... but not leaving a redirect is not a policy based outcome, and so I've corrected it. {{
R from non-neutral name}} signals that that title is disfavored, the history remains deleted, and random readers landing on that prior name are instead redirected to the much more succinct remaining section in the biography. Cheers,
Jclemens (
talk) 08:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Please amend the closure to enable the redirect not to get deleted.
The Anome has now deleted and fully protected the redirect per your close:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&logid=161262546. If you feel like you need to talk to The Anome about undeleting the redirect, that would be great. The redirect should be undeleted. Ping
Jclemens.—
Alalch E. 09:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Yes. Given that you are fine with Jclemens' reasoning, I will now restore the redirect: can you please update your closing summary to reflect this? —
The Anome (
talk) 09:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)reply
The Anome What you have now restored is the whole page history and created a redirect - which suggests this was closed as "redirect" but it was not. It was closed as "delete". The redirect that Jclemens created was a delete and then redirect. As
Jclemens says, the history remains deleted. The redirect is created after the deletion based on the assumption that someone will search this disfavoured term and want the primary article. Whether that is really a policy based outcome is unclear, but that was the intent, and not unreasonable based on the existence of a wikidata item.

I assume Anome made a mistake here, so I've re-deleted the page and undeleted the correct revisions. —

Many thanks to everyone for cleaning up the mess. That was indeed my mistake: I should only have reinstated the redirect. —

Question about your AFD closure
As a matter of curiosity, why did you end up closing
Where is Kate? as delete, instead of a merge. Especially with your comment "most people felt that, although there is significant coverage, the article contained more detail than was necessary, and a section in Catherine, Princess of Wales would be more appropriate."
Esolo5002 (
talk) 22:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Hey @
Esolo5002. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I considered closing it as merge, but many !voters felt that the article's content was inappropriate and should be deleted, and merging would require the article's history to be preserved. It would also have to be a very selective merge, and since there already sections on the main article, it's moot now anyway. Essentially, I felt there wasn't a large benefit to merging it. —

Help with improving my article
Hello Ingenuity,
I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.
Thank you for your time.

Hi, saw your edit and edit summary on
Abortion debate, and now I'm curious: how can you tell if content is AI generated?
Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (
talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)reply
@
Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: there's not just one thing that can determine if content is AI-generated, unfortunately, but there are a few things I look for. ChatGPT never cites sources (it's not really capable of doing that), and it often generates a opening paragraph, followed by a list, and then a closing paragraph (like in
this edit). It uses some phrases often, like "some key points to consider", "plays a crucial role", etc. Another giveaway is that their edit on
abortion debate was only two minutes after their last edit, so they'd have to type pretty fast! —

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am contacting you, seeing as how you have unblocked the user who I have noted above, to ask if it would be OK to remove the sock tag from their userpage? I ask since they are unblocked now, and I don't see a reason to keep it around at this point. Thank you.
