What do you think about AIs on Wikipedia?

Hi Woshiyiweizhongguoren,

Welcome to the Wikipedia community!

Did you know that Artificial Intelligences (AIs) support Wikipedia? I saw your post on Teahouse, and I’m personally contacting a small handful of new Wikipedia editors to make sure your voice is heard as we build and refine these AIs.

Will you please provide an interview to share your thoughts about AI on Wikipedia? It would only take about 30 minutes over phone or video chat. We will send you a $15 Amazon gift card as a way to thank you for your time.

I am working in collaboration with Wikimedia Foundation staff to do this research, so if you decide to participate, your opinion could help build the future of Wikipedia. Hope to talk to you soon!

PS. You can learn more about our study here.

Speedy deletion contested: Draft:Xiamen Bridge

Hello Woshiyiweizhongguoren, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Draft:Xiamen Bridge, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: No reason was given. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:51, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

I patrol new pages? That's a new one. :thinking: Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 11:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletions are often applied by people who regularly patrol new pages. Eastman assumed includes you. David notMD (talk) 15:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, it'll be at least a year before I can feel comfortable patrolling new pages. What do you think? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 15:13, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

I've been here for more than ten years, working on improving existing articles, and recently, at Teahouse. It's a choice. Many newcomers are here because they want to create an article on a specific topic. Others are drawn to anti-vandalism or copyright violation monitoring. Whatever moves you. David notMD (talk) 09:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Anti-vandalism efforts actually interest me. I sometimes patrol recent changes and keep a lookout for vandals, and Im planning to join the Counter-Vandalism Unit sometime soon. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 20:59, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

Do I have to be a template editor to create user boxes (and other templates), or can I just be an auto confirmed user like I already am?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 11:34, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

I suggest that you read WP:Template editor and also WP:Protection policy#Template protection. Also worth reading WP:Template namespace and WP:Userboxes#Which namespace?. - David Biddulph (talk) 11:50, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Tetris Effect move

I undid your move of the video game page off "Tetris Effect". Per W:DIFFCAPS, we have no problem with two different articles with the same name but differing by capitalization/style as long as the hatnotes are used to point to the other ones as necessary. (also, if a disambiguation was needed, "(video game)" is the right phrase to use to distinguish it from board/tabletop games.) --Masem (t) 14:08, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

@Masem: There is no article titled "W:DIFFCAPS". Perhaps you meant something different? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 15:58, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Just making sure that I got everything right: after two weeks, a bot will come and start moving threads to User talk:Woshiyiweizhongguoren/Archive 1. Is that so?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 23:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

My understanding is that the bot will start sooner; it will archive everything that's older than 14 days. The first thread should reach that age in about five days. Huon (talk) 00:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

At the top of my draft Draft:Hulishan Fortress, there is a template called "人物保护单位". On the Chinese Wikipedia the draft is copied from (for now), the template shows a big box containing a picture of the Fortress, it's preservation status, and other statistics.

The problem, however, is that the template is in Chinese, and thus does not function on English Wikipedia. But since I've seen similar boxes (if not identical boxes) on English Wikipedia articles about similar topics, I know that the template in question most likely exists here, just having a different name. But what is that different name? I tried all the translations of the Chinese name of the template using edit preview, but nothing seems to work. Anybody know what the right template to use is?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 11:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I replaced the infobox template with the one for "historic site" as that seemed to be the best fit. Some things I couldn't find fields for. More later. Alpha3031 (t • c) 11:30, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 11:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

When you translate articles from the Chinese Wikipedia, please remember to make use of Template:Translated page on the draft's talk page to provide the attribution required by Wikipedia's license. Huon (talk) 11:57, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

@Huon: Drat. I thought the copyright attribution was only necessary after the conversion of the draft into an article. But I understand now, and have added the template to my other drafts too. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 18:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Please could you remove this report. No vandalism involved, just harassment from an annoying editor who wouldn't stop posting to my talk page. Thanks. --woodensuperman 11:25, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

What exactly does substituting templates do, and why is it necessary in some cases?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 13:59, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

This probably explains it a bit more than you're looking for but: Wikipedia:Substitution. Tl;dr it's so if a template is changed it doesn't break it everywhere else. Praxidicae (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Re: Grahmart

I blocked because the user set off an edit filter, see here. If you go to a user's contributions you'll see a link to the user's edit filter log, In this case, the filter showed the user had tried to spam links to a website with the same name; per the username policy, specifically our section on accounts named after organizations, this is not allowed. The edit filter log isn't the easiest place to find if you don't know where to find it, so I hope this helps. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:15, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for keeping Wikipedia free of advertisements and promotional content. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 13:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

No problem. And never hesitate to ask questions, thanks for all your hard work too. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:21, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

The latest entry on the edit filter log is for a user named User:NAGARAZ, for possible sleeper account creations. But there exists no such user. What's going on?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 18:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

My guess would be that there's a system in place to limit the number of accounts that can be created by any given user/IP. Attempts to exceed the limit get stopped by the server rather than the filter itself which is why they would be logged as "no action taken" rather than "disallow" despite the action logged actually getting disallowed at a higher level (resulting in the account not getting created). I'll leave this help request open in case someone more familiar with the system wants to offer a better explanation. 78.28.54.200 (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Each IP is allotted a maximum of 4 accounts per day, though this is occasionally lifted in the event of educational programs, events, etc. ᴀɴᴏɴʏᴍᴜᴤᴤ ᴜᴤᴇʀ (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 19:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

But then, what about the account name not being registered? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 20:01, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

My reading is that someone tried to create the account, had the attempt logged, but didn't succeed due to the throttle - thus there's an edit filter log entry but no account. Huon (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Because you thanked me

Woshiyiweizhongguoren, you thanked me for one of my recent edits, so here is a heart-felt...  YOU'RE WELCOME! It's a pleasure, and I hope you have a lot of fun while you edit this inspiring encyclopedia phenomenon! ~~~

Speedy deletion of attack pages

Incidentally, certainly this was a marginal case, but if you think a page has attack page characteristics it's best to tag it as one. That way the page's name doesn't appear on the user's talk page or anywhere else on Wikipedia (e.g. your CSD action log page, if you have one), so the subject's name isn't spread more widely. As this person's name is common it's less of an issue, but I thought it might be good to say that in case you didn't know already. Blythwood (talk) 21:39, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Blythwood: That's useful, thanks. What's a CSD action log, by the way? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 21:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah, it's simple. I use the module Twinkle that does push-button CSD filing (which, fortunately, I don't do often-I mostly use it to put a welcome page on new users' talk pages!). It records a log of every page you've tagged for CSD. Mine is here: you'll see at the bottom that although it says I tagged an attack page for deletion, it doesn't give the page's title. Blythwood (talk) 21:48, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Oh. I knew about the Twinkle CSD feature from since I got Twinkle, and I know how to use it well. I just didn't know that that was what you were referring to when you said: "CSD action log." Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 22:05, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Question

What about this newly registered User:Gaylordbush69? Regards. Jingiby (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jingiby: Hmm. If you have any suspicions, why don't you start an SPI, providing diffs from both users as evidence? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 12:57, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Woshiyiweizhongguoren I'm just going to leave a friendly suggestion not to tag sock userpages, particularly before they are blocked and I'd advise against it even after given your short tenure here. You should leave this to admins, SPI clerks and checkusers. Praxidicae (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Not here behaviour, obvious sock who is trolling us.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  TonyBallioni (talk) 14:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Not here behavior? I am here to build the encyclopedia, having created useful articles including Xiamen Bridge, Louwailou, and Aiwowo. I don't know exactly what you mean by "obvious sock who is trolling us", but this is my first and only account. Perhaps you meant to block somebody else? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 14:27, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

In my opinion, based on your edits and behaviour, there is no doubt whastoever that this is a sock account intent on trolling and playing "catch me if you can". I knew a block would be forthcoming as the red flags practically litter the playing field at this point, I just wasn't certain as to whether you'd be tied to the master account prior to outwearing your welcome.Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:06, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@TonyBallioni: I'm really confused. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 14:30, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

• No, there is no mistake. This block was intentional on your first day you told us you were waiting to get autoconfirmed to publish an article, before asking something you clearly knew the answer to. This edit summary was nothing more than trolling us, as is this (I'm aware it's a humour page, but it contributes to a trend.) There is more, but I'm not going to overwhelm this page with diffs.
  You're basically daring us to try to figure out what your previous account was. It doesn't matter who you were before, you are an obvious sock who is taunting us to try to identify a master. We don't play those games. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:38, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: When asking Huon about the auto confirmed rights, I was just making sure that what I was thinking was accurate, to clear away any possible misconceptions. I don't get how the SPI and last topic pool diffs support the fact that I'm deceiving anybody. Never once have I ever implied the existence of prior accounts. Quite the opposite, in fact. I do not have the slightest intention to harm the encyclopedia, and in fact I try to prevent disruption by patrolling recent changes and random pages. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 15:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I’m aware you claim to be an IP who registered. I don’t believe you. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Opinions from others? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 15:30, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Admin help requests are not needed in this case, that's what the unblock template is for. People are getting very tired of this game.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:02, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I read your claims on my talk page, but they are unconvincing. I endorse this block. —DoRD (talk)​ 16:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

@Ponyo: OK, I'll stop using admin help. I'm not trying to play games to fool the administrators, by the way.

@TonyBallioni: On recent changes I see non-auto confirmed users "create" articles in their sandboxes or user pages. Does that make them socks? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 16:06, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
