Mass message question
[edit]Hi Daisy. Regarding your recent "Want to help...?" invitations, is it the intent of the studies to invite indefinitely blocked and globally locked sockpuppet accounts to participate? If not, would it be possible adapt your mass message to exclude indefinitely blocked editors? --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:25, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Ponyo: That'd be ideal! I am generating lists of users who meet my criteria for specific tests and then posting these talk page messages, but I'm not sure how to identify those specific editors you mention. I've seen block notifications on accounts before but they're sometimes buried. Let me know if there's a good place to double check for whether they are blocked and why, but if it's not obvious or in a central place I'm not sure I can check for everyone I'm posting to. Plus, I would assume they won't want to help anyway :) Dchen (WMF) (talk) 21:42, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure of the logistics of the mass message being able to bypass blocked users, I was hoping maybe there would be a box you could check or some equivalent easy action. I should have known it would not be so easy! If you click on a editor's contributions there will be a big pink box noting they are blocked; I'm not sure if that's helpful for you though. My concern with the messages is that it will likely prompt an email to the user which will only serve to remind them that they haven't caused havoc here recently. God forbid we awake any sleeping dragons!--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:52, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- That's not too bad. I can make sure to check the contribs before posting. To confirm, you mean this page, for example? Rest assured (maybe?) that these would only be ... nascent/potential dragons (I'm looking for newer editors). But good to avoid anyway. Also, I doubt there is such a thing as a mass appending of new talk page messages for multiple users, but I would love to have such a tool right about now :) Dchen (WMF) (talk) 22:15, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- That's exactly the page. And regarding Dragons, just because they're a new account doesn't mean they aren't a returning editor :) --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:20, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oh yeah. Forgot your earlier comment about sockpuppets. :\ Darn. Dchen (WMF) (talk) 22:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I just figured it'd be useful to note here that I replied to your email (as people don't get on wiki notifications when you reply back the normal way). Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
