Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Not the box I expected to open
[edit]Still, finding a long standing UPE editor would be a decent outcome, if it happens. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:23, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Likely editor for hire with previous accounts, possible CheckUser needed
[edit]Hi Girth Summit. Editor User:Dean Twaks's original user page, which was essentially a sales pitch for paid editing services as a "content creator". Despite the account being brand new, the editor claimed to have built up editing expertise "over the years" working for a "range of clients". They have since denied having any other accounts (and that they misspoke about promo editing). Is there a way to request a CheckUser without an SPI? It would be hard to file one without knowing any suspected socks or previous accounts. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:21, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I've blocked. A CU to find their other accounts might indeed be a good idea. Bishonen | tålk 22:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC).
- Nothing to see I'm afraid - they were using a proxy with no other recent activity. Girth Summit (blether) 11:55, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

SPI collateral damage?
[edit]It appears you recently deleted Ben Adams (police commissioner) with the explanation G5: Created by a banned or blocked user (DotCoder) in violation of ban or block. I gather a page should have "no substantial edits by others" for G5 to apply. I'm unable to view the page history or see the latest revision before it was deleted, but from memory I created the page and/or contributed significantly to its content along with other editors. It had been accepted into mainspace after undergoing improvements as a draft. Please could you review what has happened to this page, and ideally undelete it if appropriate? Thanks, AJP (talk) 10:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- I think I was probably a bit hasty with the deletion - I thought all the edits to it were just gnoming, but your edits were in fact quite substantive, so I've gone ahead and undeleted it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Girth Summit (blether) 18:40, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Also here Selfstudier (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
