DYK for Evangelical Heritage Version

On 9 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Evangelical Heritage Version, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Evangelical Heritage Version of the Bible was translated by a group of Lutheran volunteers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Evangelical Heritage Version. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Evangelical Heritage Version), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Answers in Genesis. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 21:18, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Thank you for volunteering your time and for doing an amazing job with dealing with that IP hoping user and for keeping the vandalism off of Charlotte Crosby and Hailee Steinfeld. I just want you to know that your effort, your time, and your diligence do not go unnoticed and we appreciate it very much. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:31, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Oshwah! I'd like to thank you as well for reverting many of the other edits and doing what I could not in blocking them (and all your efforts elsewhere in fighting vandalism). Do you know of any good tools for fighting vandalism that don't require rollback permissions (and preferably run in a browser)? AWB, Huggle, and STiki are standalone applications which require rollback rights, Igloo works in a browser but requires rollback rights, and many other tools are very outdated. I've found that RTRC doesn't really fit what I want (being designed for page patrollers), and Snuggle gives me errors (I don't know what permissions it requires), so I generally end up using the recent changes feed (usually edits with any of a large amount of tags, like this, or with some general bad faith or vandalism filters), in conjunction with Twinkle, but I feel that there must be a more efficient way to do this. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:10, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

You're doing great work here! I hope you know that. Well, I've been patrolling recent changes for about 10 years now - obviously a lot has changed since 2008 ;-). Do you have Twinkle enabled? If not, go to your preferences and flick the switch on - it's extremely helpful with making routine RCP tasks for you. Have you seen or gone through this list of RCP tools yet? There are a good number of different tools that will automate recent changes patrolling for you, and those do not require rollback. Give some of these a try, and let me know if you have any questions. The best advice I can give you is to find a tool that you personally like and are comfortable with using and without making mistakes. And remind yourself to leave a message on my talk page in about a month from now. If you're reverting vandalism and warning users appropriately, and filing good reports to AIV - I'll have no problem granting you some user rights. Keep up the good work, and please let me know if you have any questions or need help. I'll be happy to lend you a hand. Thanks again for doing what you're doing. Happy trails! ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:28, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I do have Twinkle enabled, and I've found it to be quite useful. Thanks for that link - I've seen many of those before, and haven't used them due to most of them either not being browser-based (which unfortunately is a major inconvenience for me) or a few of them requiring rollback, however I did find that Lupin's Anti-vandalism tools did everything I want, so I tried them out and have been using them for pretty much the last 2 hours, and they've been working out well, so I'll probably keep using them. Thanks again! LittlePuppers (talk) 05:49, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

José Molinas

Just a heads up -- I declined your speedy deletion request for José Molinas, because it was not a broken redirect. Not sure what you were going for there...----Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:14, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

@Fabrictramp: Yes, the article it was redirecting to was created after I tagged that - I just noticed in my watchlist. Thanks! LittlePuppers (talk) 01:15, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Soleares (poems)

Please don't be so hasty in tagging when something is obviously just created, esp. by someone who has written an article or two. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

@Drmies: My apologies - I was a bit too hasty in tagging that. However, may I suggest that you make use of the draft namespace before publishing articles? LittlePuppers (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, but no. Please check my list of created articles to see if indeed I know what I'm doing. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 18:03, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

@Drmies: I'm in no way meaning to imply that you don't know what you're doing (I think being an admin and having 4 FAs speaks for itself in that regard), I'm just suggesting that if you'd prefer not to find any secondary sources before publishing an article, maybe you should draft it first. LittlePuppers (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

LittlePuppers, I should really be in bed, but one of my newly created articles got rapidly tagged a while back, so I wondered ... if you're using the new pages feed or Special:New pages, are new articles by those of us with the autopatrolled right still shown as already reviewed or without the yellow highlighting? The other editor was unaware that the absence of highlighting is supposed to be a message to new pages reviewers that the article has either already been checked or has been created by one of us warhorse article writers. This may all have changed now that new page reviewer is a special right and uses a special feed. Of course, you may have just seen it at Recent Changes. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:01, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

@Yngvadottir: I did see it at recent changes, however looking at Special:NewPages I don't see any highlighting there. Special:NewPagesFeed does shows review/unreviewed. LittlePuppers (talk) 20:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• I wasn't going to come back here, but here's the thing: old-time editors don't like being patronized by new-time editors. Drmies (talk) 14:08, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

@Drmies: What exactly do you mean by "patronizing" (I'm assuming by "new" you mean anyone who's been here for a shorter period than yourself) in this regard? LittlePuppers (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Srsly? You're not just tagging too quickly, but you're also telling me what it is I should do when writing an article. I see you wrote an article, and not a bad one, and along the way you got a nice bit of assistance from other editors. Article writers need help: they need other editors who have different expertise and knowledge and who help improve articles. Experienced editors do not need to be told that they need references, nor do they need to be suggested that they draft it first. Sorry, but I am still struck by the arrogance and a-holishness of "I'm just suggesting that if you'd prefer not to find any secondary sources before publishing an article, maybe you should draft it first", which is condescending. You have not earned the right to make that kind of a remark, not to me and not to anyone else either. Don't ping me again; I got better things to do. Drmies (talk) 20:40, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi LittlePuppers. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 19:32, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Amorymeltzer, I'll keep that in mind. LittlePuppers (talk) 19:34, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

WP:DENY

Regarding the IP we both had words with earlier, it's best to not play their game (and that's just what it is to them) by engaging in a back-and-forth discussion with them about their editing or their edits. I know I started it, but after it became clear they were just trolling, and after telling them not to waste our time, I intended to leave it there (especially since you had already requested they be blocked). See WP:DENY for a discussion of why it's generally better not to give them the satisfaction of an argument. General Ization ^Talk 00:30, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

@General Ization: Yes, that's very good advice (and it was largely why I did eventually stop). I don't think that's your fault whatsoever, it's definitely something I could have handled a lot better. Thanks again for the advice and all you do on Wikipedia. LittlePuppers (talk) 04:35, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Assessment Luang Por Dattajivo

Thanks for your assessment here. Any tips?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 12:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

@Farang Rak Tham: I didn't really look through it very thoroughly - that was largely based on the ratings for other wikiprojects. Looking at it further, I raised up to C-class - it's definitely at least worthy of that, and I'm a little hesitant to rate things above that (though it may well be worthy of it), because it's a bit outside of my area of expertise. I'll look at it further and give more advice soon - probably this afternoon or tonight. LittlePuppers (talk) 13:05, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, LittlePuppers!--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:06, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

@Farang Rak Tham: Apologies for not getting to that last night, I've been very busy recently with exams at school and various other things - I'll get to it as soon as I can. LittlePuppers (talk) 14:26, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, LittlePuppers.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 14:31, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

@Farang Rak Tham: Again, apologies for taking so long - I should be back to a more normal schedule now. I've looked through it more thoroughly, and here's a list of various comments:

• Is there any more recent news about him being de facto caretaker as of December 2016? Additionally, this could use some more explaining (why do they say that, etc. - not much more is said about that in the body).

•  Doing....--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• Various places could use some rewording - I'll look into that, or perhaps request a copyedit.
• You should probably mention him by name (as opposed to only using pronouns) in the first paragraph of the "early life" section (again, something I'll probably look at).

•  Done.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• You refer to Khatha as "Thai black magic" - is that a common (and supported by references) name for it? It's not mentioned in the linked article, but that is definitely a stub.

•  Fixed.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• Should the "chi" in "Mae chi Chandra" be capitalized?

•  Done.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• Overall, a little bit of updating would be nice, if anything has (or hasn't) happened in the past year or two.

•  Doing....--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

In addition, I've made a few minor edits for grammar and the like, and I'll continue to do so over the coming days. Overall, it's a very nice article. LittlePuppers (talk) 05:55, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Those are very useful tips and edits, LittlePuppers! Thanks. I will get to it as soon as I finish an article of mine that is currently GA reviewed. Thanks again!--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

No problem, Farang Rak Tham! I'm more than happy to help. Buddhism isn't really my area of expertise, but I'll look at the prose and see what I can do about that in the coming days. LittlePuppers (talk) 17:48, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Have you ever done a GA review, LP?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 19:39, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

No, I haven't. LittlePuppers (talk) 01:25, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Luang Por Dattajivo has been nominated for GA at WP:GAN#REL, if you are interested to review.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Farang Rak Tham, but I'm going to have to decline. I've considered it before, but if (or when) I do, I'd probably like to stick with topics I'm familiar with, especially initially - and as I've said before, I'm not especially familiar with Buddhism. LittlePuppers (talk) 23:24, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay, no problem.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 12:13, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Have done some edits now, responding to your suggestions.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 13:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

You are now a pending changes reviewer

Hi LittlePuppers! I've been running into you in recent changes patrolling and I happened to notice that you don't have the pending changes reviewer user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling, and you consistently view and undo vandalism and disruption to articles. I believe that this user right would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request the pending changes reviewer right at WP:PERM, I just went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and either accept them to be published and viewable by the general public, or decline and revert them so that the pending changes are not published.

Keep in mind these things regarding the tool or when you're reviewing any pending changes:

• The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.
• Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you additional "status" on Wikipedia nor does it changes how you can edit articles (obviously).
• You'll generally want to accept pending changes that appear to be legitimate edits and are not blatant vandalism or disruption, and reject edits that are problematic or that you wouldn't accept yourself - especially those that are vandalism or have neutral point of view or BLP issues.

Useful guidelines and pages for you to read:

• Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, the guideline and tutorial on using the rights and reviewing pending changes.
• Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
• Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

I'm sure you'll do fine with the reviewer rights - it's a pretty straight-forward tool and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into any troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the user rights and accepting or reverting pending changes. If you no longer want the pending changes reviewer rights, contact me and I'll remove it. Thank you for helping to patrol recent changes and keep Wikipedia free of disruption and vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:58, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I actually just requested this, so thanks a lot, Oshwah! LittlePuppers (talk) 03:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Oh shit... well.... there you go.... LOL ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:02, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Why did you acccept the pending change of Janet Jackson

The page was corrupted after Kimora's first edit about a complete navbox. May you please explain how did you accept that edit? It is lucky that the second problematic edit was dealt and I can revert both.--1233^Talk 03:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Apologies 1233, I saw that |class=expanded was removed (which doesn't seem to change anything?) and upon first glance the navboxes appeared okay (why was that one at the end?) but I missed that }} was removed as well. Thank you for taking care of that, and I'll be more careful to make sure things like that don't happen again in the future. LittlePuppers (talk) 04:46, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Steve Marshall (writer)

Please look carefully at what you are reverting. You should not have restored that edit without immediately fixing the referencing problem. A claim that someone was convicted and sent to prison sourced to a malformed (and thus unviewable) external link is not acceptable. The IP could probably have claimed that the removal of the material was justified on WP:BLP grounds. Meters (talk) 03:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

@Meters: Ah, my apologies about that. I only looked at the diff, which seemed to be removing a referenced statement, and didn't notice the referencing problem. I'll watch more carefully in the future. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:25, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

OK. The next editor to revert it moved it to a reference while I was doing the same thing, so we had eyes on it. I'm just surprised this has been going on for so long. Meters (talk) 03:28, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Functional GI disorders

I am unclear as to why you deleted my addition of "also known as disorders of gut-brain interaction", as clinicians are now referring to FGIDs with this term since the latest clinical research shows that the brain is very much involved with disorders of the gut, so much so that neuromodulators (treatments that work in the brain) are now being used to treat FGIDs.

I am also unclear why you did not allow my deletion of the information on mast cells. The reference from 2015 needs to be deleted and the information linking mast cell involvement to the FGIDs is now known to be false. A reference from 2015 in the clinical world can definitely be considered obsolete.

Not sure what your clinical background is, but I assure you, my above reasons would be backed by the world's expert on FGIDs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.26.111 (talk) 03:37, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, for any future contributions please provide reliable sources per our guidelines for medical articles. Additionally, please do not add links to external websites, such as yours to the Rome foundation, in the middle of the article. If they are relevant, they may be added in the external links section, or they can be added as a reference. Thank you. LittlePuppers (talk) 15:26, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Changes to the Greenstone Page

Hi "LittlePuppers"Kristinamiousse (talk) 19:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Clearly I am new to Wikipedia in the editing function. I work for the Municipality of Greenstone and there is content on this page we are trying to update. Mainly, our motto is now "Nature's Home Town" and our municipal is no longer a "G" leaf, but now a compass. I have tried about 5 times, each without success to update these changes. I am confused on where to turn. Any ideas? "kristinamiousse"
