Unblock requests

Please do not remove unblock requests, even if the request is abusive or otherwise in bad faith. When you do that, the admins may not see the bad-faith request. When we see these requests, we can remove talk page access; we can't do that if we don't see the request. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 21:25, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Understood. Sorry, Auntof6. Hockeycatcat (talk) 21:26, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

No apology necessary. I know you (and others who do the same thing) are just trying to help. :) -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:10, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

test

hey, i'm just testing— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:df2:a00:1:103:217:209:40 (talk • contribs) 12:21, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, please don't test inside articles. Use the Sandbox for that. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:22, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

how do I do it

Click here and edit, make sure it's appropriate please! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:26, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

what is

Please stop changing pages, they are not the Sandbox. You have now been reported for vandalism. Please stop editing now because it won't make things better. Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

what do mean I was testing accents

It doesn't matter what you are testing, just don't do it in articles. Please stop leaving messages on this talk page. Hockeycatcat (talk) 12:43, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Test edits ?

I checked the categorizations that was rolled back, I don't think it was a test edit. MathXplore (talk) 09:05, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi @MathXplore: they keep adding a nonexistent template to the article ({{National sports teams of the United States}}). Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)(When mentioning templates, you can use tl to avoid your talk page getting a huge box. MathXplore (talk) 09:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC))

Huh. I guess it exists now... Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

While some users make temp/cats and add them afterwards, others add red links first and then create cats/temps afterwards. The IP user seems to be the latter. MathXplore (talk) 09:09, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@MathXplore: I will remove the warnings and the report. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Moving pages

When moving pages, please check WP:MOVE. It tells you how to move pages. Since you just moved pages manually, someone else has to change the interwiki links manually. MathXplore (talk) 11:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@MathXplore: I understand, I tried to move it the correct way, but an error prevented me from doing so. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 11:09, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Can you explain what kind of error it was ? MathXplore (talk) 11:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

It was saying that the page could not be moved because the name was invalid. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 11:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I moved pages many times but haven't seen that kind of error message. But if the page move destination already exists, then that could be an invalid name. If you see that error again, you may ask at WP:ST for further assistance. MathXplore (talk) 11:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You tried to move Names for large numbers to Names of large numbers. The problem is that the latter was already created years ago, but not as a redirect originally. Had it been created as a redirect, then the move tool can delete the redirect page in preparation for the move. Here's an example of such a deletion. In this case you should ask for an administrator to delete Names of large numbers by tagging the page with G6 (maintenance/deletion in preparation of a move) so that Names for large numbers can be moved there. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 11:35, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. Did I do it correctly so far, @Fehufanga:? Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 12:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm so sorry for the late reply, I'm sitting here with the recent changes on my second monitor yet I didn't notice your message, didn't receive a ping either. Yes, that looks correct now that the page is deleted. Now Names for large numbers can be moved to Names of large numbers with the move tool. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 13:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

July 2022

Hello, Hockeycatcat. When you revert a user's changes, like you did earlier, don't forget to leave the user a message on their talk page, especially when reverting vandalism or a test edit. You may find Template:User talk page warnings/table useful when doing this, to let them know that the change was considered inappropriate, and to direct them to the sandbox. Thank you. In this rollback, I do not see an edit warning on the IP page and I checked the history. RedWarn does not have this template, so that is when I use twinkle. https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=V%C3%ADctor_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Andrade&diff=prev&oldid=8365043&diffmode=source Thanks - Da Lamb^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 18:22, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: Oh no! I did forget to warn them! That rarely happens, I won’t do it again! I have no excuse for this either. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 05:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

No worries! It was just a reminder and I was too lazy to type it out lol. Thanks - Da Lamb^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 05:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		Thank you for your recent anti-vandalism activities! — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:33, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

@Fehufanga: Wow! Thank you for the barnstar! I spend many hours spying on Recent Changes every day! :) Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 10:38, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Sufism of roma people

I see you are against muslim roma, because the source i given is a reliable source, you claimed its not. So you denky the existence of sufism in roma people from üsküdar. Again this is a reliable source. https://openaccess.ihu.edu.tr/xmlui/bitstream/handle/20.500.12154/1199/10317583.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y Nalanidil (talk) 13:52, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

@Nalanidil: I am not against anyone, so please don't suggest that. I have thoroughly checked the source and I can see that it has its own reliable sources, so I will revert my edit. Thank you for letting me have a second look. Again, I am not against anyone and I made a mistake. I will put the reference back now. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 13:56, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

QDs in non-standard namespaces

Just a heads up, even if the QD banner doesn't appear on the page, the page (regardless of namespace) will still appear in Category:Quick_deletion_requests if a {{qd}} template is added to it. You don't have to make a talk page for it. This also happens on custom JavaScript/CSS, where it will not display the banner. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh! I didn't see a category so I thought that it would be missed. No worries, now I know that for the future. I've never even come across the TimedText namespace before, so I thought that the QD would be missed! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 10:20, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Simple Talk

Sorry bro about the voting of language as I was not aware of polls being closed. Please revert my edits and notify me on this issue or strike it off. Whatever your wish. It's difficult to use mobile in editing. Best. Jyoti Roy (talk) 10:46, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

TTP1233,  Done – Reverted. And, there's no need to say sorry :) Yes, mobile editing is a nightmare! Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 10:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you bro. :) Jyoti Roy (talk) 13:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Re: VIP request

Did you mean to add /60 to the end of the IP address? You may have meant /64, as blocking 1 IPv6 /64 is equivalent to blocking one IPv4 address. --Ferien (talk) 13:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Ferien:, yes, I did mean to add /64, glad you caught that. I'm still new to the IP ranges! Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 05:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Welcome back

Hi @Hockeycatcat, I assume you were in break. Well nice to see you coming again. DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 15:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @TTP1233:! Yes, I just had a short holiday. I'm happy to be back! Thank you for the kind wishes. :) Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 15:18, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

RedWarn usage

How will I use RedWarn as I have rollback rights now. Best DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 15:33, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@TTP1233: I'm glad that you want to start using RedWarn! Create this page: User:TTP1233/common.js and paste this text: mw.loader.load('//simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:JJPMaster/RedWarn.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'), then press Publish changes. Let me know if it worked! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 15:39, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

OK doing so, and I will let you inform. DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 15:42, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

I guess it worked.

Thanks DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 15:46, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

 (change conflict)  @TTP1233: It looks like you're all set! If it doesn't work, restart your browser. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 15:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

IP disturber

That IP is making us mad. His continous vandalism made us confusing. What do you say? DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 12:47, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@TTP1233: Let's just leave them be. Eventually they will be blocked by an admin. The most we can do is keep reverting them or just let them edit until they are blocked, then revert the edits afterwards. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 12:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah..After all they will be blocked. Hope some admin be active there by now. DRC (User:TTP1233) (talk . e-mail . contrib) 12:50, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Hi, Hockeycatcat. Thanks for creating the disambiguation page John K. (disambiguation). You might not have known, but each entry on a disambiguation pages ("dab pages") should have only one blue link. Also, it's best to spell out "died" instead of using "d." before the year of death.

I removed the extra blue links and changed "d." on this dab page. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 19:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Auntof6, thank you for the tips! I will be sure to use these in future. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 02:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Unsigned template

Hi. When you use {{unsigned}}, please be sure to substitute it. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 15:24, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Auntof6:, got it, and sorry for changing Mac's text, I just wanted to make it clearer that it was a Keep vote, he even said Keep in his comment, so I thought I would make it clearer for a closing admin or other users looking at the page. The page is currently not formatted correctly. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 15:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Editing

Hi, mate can you please wait before editing an article I created, I wish to be able to finish my own work first before hitting edit conflicts. N1TH Music (talk) 13:42, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@N1TH Music: Hello, that's fine. I will leave your articles alone. Sorry for the trouble! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 13:44, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh no I wouldn't say leave them alone entirely, I tend to forget to add categories, just pay a visits after it's been a few minutes since my last edit, alright? N1TH Music (talk) 13:45, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@N1TH Music: OK, that's alright! Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 13:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Pero

Hello Hockeycatcat I'm sure you remember back when you accidentally QD'd Pero, Lombardy but it appears that any place by the name of Pero is just a magnet of accidents and misunderstandings. First you QD'd it, then you wrote about the wrong location, then I split it into 2 article then the second one (the one in Genoa) got also mistaken for another one which has since been moved to Pero, Savona. I find hillarious how so many misunderstandings are coming about through this one title, what do you think. :D N1TH Music (talk) 17:07, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@N1TH Music: I find that pretty funny as well! I do vividly remember writing about the wrong location, whoops! :D Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 09:01, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Well it does make sense as one is significantly larger than the other. :D Not N1TH Music (talk) 09:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

I confirm that despite the name, that's my alt account. N1TH Music (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
