Chandler Greenholt

Thanks for reverting threat by this Chandler person . He was threatening me with vandalism for a minor edit! I have additional permissions so can over ride his input. I see he has been blocked on several ocassions so far. Real nuisance and one reason why i tend to avoid some topics. Dorkinglad (talk) 16:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

I would like to join in. Thanks for reverting Chandler, and the vandalism notification. Cessaune [talk] 16:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm just saying

More edits and more tenure than I had. Plenty of work at AfC, wrote an anti-vandal script. Whenever you're comfortable with your experience, I think you'd have an easier time than I did. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Oh, and some GAs... you make me look like a chump. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:48, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Also, that AV script is good stuff. I understand it's built for speed, but it would be nice to have a quick way to choose different warning templates with matching edit summaries. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:48, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Please send me an email if you want some further guidance and potentially a nom. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:02, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Nom

I looked further into you, and fell in love with your profligate creation of talkpages for WikiProjects. I think you're a shoo-in, and would like to have my first admin nomination with you. Whenever (and I sure hope it's a "when"ever) you decide to take the plunge, e-mail me (and whomever else you decide) so I can write up the statement and help you with your three questions. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 19:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Why does Wikipedia say you left me a message?

I can't actually find a message, and don't know why you would have left one. I'm quite new to this. Can you explain? Thank you! It also says Chandler Greenholt left me a message and threatened to ban me. Truthquest (talk) 20:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Truthquest! The user who left you that warning was a vandal (who is now blocked). It said I left you a message because I removed their post from your talk page. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Truthquest (talk) 16:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Joan Finney Article

I noticed on my WatchList that you recently reverted vandalism to the Joan Finney article by User talk:2604:CA00:1C8:99B3:0:0:662:1A25, and I was wondering if you were recommending any further action should be taken to either block this user or semi-protect the article because other recent acts of vandalism to the Joan Finney article by that user have also been reverted. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding this matter. TommyBoy (talk) 00:06, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

@TommyBoy: I don't think this article needs to be protected; pages are only protected when there is persistent vandalism from multiple users, which doesn't appear to be the case. The IP doesn't really need to be blocked either -- they haven't edited in over six hours. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 00:28, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for following up with me. I will keep an eye on the article, and if anything else comes up in the near future, I will let you know.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

New Page Patrol – May 2023 Backlog Drive

New Page Patrol | May 2023 Backlog Drive

Autopatrolled

Hi Ingenuity, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 18:51, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Draft reviews

Could you review the drafts My Week with Marilyn (soundtrack), Cowboys & Aliens (soundtrack), Real Steel (soundtrack), Prom (soundtrack), The Descendants (soundtrack) and Jane Eyre (soundtrack) 223.178.84.135 (talk) 14:52, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

From developing your AntiVandal tool, reviewing AFC drafts, and writing articles, all your work is outstanding. Please consider starting an RFA!

If you need a nomination (or co-nom), email me. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 17:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

• I think you might break the record for the RfA with the most noms! – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 20:08, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
  • (Then again, no disrespect to Illusion Flame, but I wonder how often non-admin noms come up, and how successful they tend to be. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 20:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC))

    I know most nominations are from admins, but non-administrator nominations are still helpful and support an RFA candidates run. I am sure @Ingenuity can find admins to nominate, but just leaving it open! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, a nom by a 2 month old former "long term Ip editor" will at least give the WO folk a giggle :) SN54129 20:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

If you don’t mind me asking @Serial Number 54129, who are “WO folk”? - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:30, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame: I think SN54129 is referring to Wikipediocracy. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:45, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

• I received the notification for this and thought: "Ingenuity's not an administrator?" You certainly should be. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 00:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
• Ingenuity, you've certainly improved significantly since we first met in January 2022! Your AntiVandal tool is stellar, NPP and AfC work...wow! Looking forward to your admin nomination! Tails Wx 15:37, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

  I agree, and would definitely be a supporter. Very well rounded candidate: content creation for those who want it, excellent anti-vandal work (in both senses) and new page reviewing. Plus, anyone who regularly beats me to reverting vandalism has my respect :) Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Draft re-review (Eleri Ward)

Hi, I was wondering if you could take another look at Draft:Eleri Ward since you gave me feedback on it before? Particularly the sourcing; I replaced most of the BWW sources per your feedback, but I kept two of them (an interview with the subject and an album review) as those seem to be original writing rather than the press release reprints mentioned at WP:RSP, and if nothing else I think they work as primary sources. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 20:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

@Invisiboy42293 great work on this! I've accepted it now. One thing I would suggest is that the list in the "Artistry and recognition" could be shortened and/or turned into prose, rather than a list. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:55, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm actually going to revert it back to draft for a bit? I was in the middle of turning that section into prose when I got your notification lol. The list was just intended as notes, not a finished thing. Invisiboy42293 (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

@Invisiboy42293 that's fine -- feel free to move it back to mainspace yourself when you think it's ready. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 21:25, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

AntiVandal logo and RFA

Hi @Ingenuity, I just wanted to let you know that I updated the colors of the AntiVandal logo so they weren’t as similar to RedWarn. If you get a second, see if you like them and I can adjust if necessary. Good luck on your RFA too! We are all rooting for you. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:45, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Illusion Flame! The logo looks great as well - I think the blue looks better than red. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 22:59, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Glad you like it! I look forward to seeing you around if and when your RFA passes. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:04, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, good luck! (You don't even need it, it's pretty obvious this is going to pass) It's a shame IP editors can't vote in RFA's, though I do get why. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 10:52, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, but people could just use multiple IPs to vote, and then it wouldn’t be fair. You can leave a general comment through saying that you would support if you could. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 11:06, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Over the years a few IP editors have placed bolded supports in the general comments, which do everything but add to the tally, and no one complained. For my own part, if I happen to be active I may occasionally drop in to counter sincere opposes that aren't complete rubbish. For that purpose the general comments section is actually better since its less likely to evolve into an unproductive back and forth. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 03:36, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations

I don't want to break form, but with less than 24 hours to go and near certainty of your RfA passing I'd like to extend my congratulations! Make sure you use these tools wisely... – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 16:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

I also came to the talk page to congratulate you Ingenuity! I'm thrilled to see your RfA went so smoothly and I'm confident that you'll wield the mop productively and responsibly. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, looking at the history of this IP's edits and the block log, would you consider increasing the duration to 1 week? Just as a note of observation from other admins' activities, if the blocks are recent enough (generally within a few months of one another), admins will typically move up the scale in block durations. Congrats on the adminship, BTW! 73.67.145.30 (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ingenuity, I would bring a T-shirt but they are out of stock from my supplier. Someone else might have a better supplier, but you can order one from me and I'll bring it when it's back in stock.
